πŸ”¬ Technical Deep Dive

1. Author Disambiguation Algorithm

Problem: "Michael Jordan" could be:

  • Michael I. Jordan (UC Berkeley ML researcher)
  • Michael B. Jordan (actor)
  • Michael Jordan (basketball player)
  • 50+ other researchers

Solution: Graph-based disambiguation

# Simplified algorithm
1. Search OpenAlex for "Michael Jordan" candidates
   β†’ Found: 11 candidates

2. Fetch 100 publications per candidate (1,100 total)

3. Build heterogeneous graph:
   Nodes: Publications, Authors, Venues, Concepts
   Edges: authorship, publication_in, has_topic

4. Create embeddings:
   TF-IDF on (title + concepts)
   β†’ 1,100 Γ— 5,000 feature matrix

5. Cluster using HAC (Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering):
   Distance: Cosine similarity
   Linkage: Average
   β†’ 6 clusters formed

6. Score each cluster using hints:
   Cluster 3 score:
   - Affiliation match ("UC Berkeley") β†’ +30%
   - Field match ("machine learning") β†’ +40%
   - Co-author match (2/3 overlap) β†’ +20%
   - Cluster size (largest: 487 pubs) β†’ +20%
   Total: 110% βœ“

7. Extract author from winning cluster:
   β†’ Michael I. Jordan (A5049812527)
   β†’ Confidence: 76.60%

2. Multi-Source Data Merging

Challenge: Same paper appears differently across sources

Example:

OpenAlex:
  Title: "Attention is All You Need"
  Citations: 78,234
  Abstract: [Full text available]
  Venue: "NeurIPS 2017"

Semantic Scholar:
  Title: "Attention Is All You Need"  # Different capitalization
  Citations: 76,892  # Slightly different count
  Abstract: [Same full text]
  Venue: "Neural Information Processing Systems"  # Different name

DBLP:
  Title: "Attention is All You Need"
  Citations: N/A  # DBLP doesn't track citations
  Abstract: N/A  # DBLP doesn't have abstracts
  Venue: "NIPS 2017"  # Abbreviated name

CrossRef:
  Title: "Attention is all you need"  # Lowercase
  Citations: 77,105
  Abstract: [Truncated]
  Venue: "Advances in Neural Information..."  # Long form

Merging Strategy:

# Deduplication key
key = (normalize_title(title), year)
# "attention is all you need", 2017

# Merge rules (priority order)
merged = {
    'title': OpenAlex.title,  # Best formatting
    'citations': max(all_sources),  # Highest count
    'abstract': longest(all_sources),  # Most complete
    'venue': OpenAlex.venue,  # Most standardized
    'doi': CrossRef.doi,  # Most reliable
    'authors': merge_author_lists(),  # Combine all
}

# Result: Single unified publication entry

3. ML Impact Prediction

Input: Publication metadata Output: Impact score (0-100+) + category

Feature Engineering (36 features):

# Temporal Features (5)
years_since_publication = current_year - pub_year
career_stage = years_since_first_publication
publication_recency = 1 / (1 + years_since_pub)
is_recent = 1 if years_since_pub <= 3 else 0

# 3. Weighted Average
final_pred = 0.45 * rf_pred + 0.55 * gb_pred

# 4. Categorization
category = classify_impact(final_pred)
# 0-20: Low
# 20-40: Medium
# 40-60: High
# 60-80: Very High
# 80+: Exceptional

# 5. Confidence
confidence = model.predict_proba(X).max()

4. Trend Analysis

Publication Timeline:

# Exponential smoothing for trend detection
def analyze_timeline(pubs_by_year):
    alpha = 0.3  # Smoothing factor
    smoothed = exponential_smoothing(pubs_by_year, alpha)

    elif recent_avg < older_avg * 0.8:
        return "Declining"
    else:
        return "Stable"

# Future prediction (ARIMA)
forecast_3y = ARIMA(smoothed).forecast(steps=3)

Topic Evolution:

# Track keyword frequency over time
def analyze_topics(publications):
    # Extract keywords per year
    keywords_by_year = defaultdict(Counter)
    for pub in publications:
        year = pub['year']
        keywords = extract_keywords(pub['title'] + pub['abstract'])
        keywords_by_year[year].update(keywords)
    
    # Identify emerging topics (growing frequency)
    emerging = []
    for keyword in all_keywords:
        recent_freq = keywords_by_year[2024][keyword]
        old_freq = mean([keywords_by_year[y][keyword] 
                        for y in range(2020, 2023)])

def generate_recommendations(impact_data, trend_data):
    recommendations = []
    
    # Rule 1: Publication frequency
    recent_pubs = trend_data['recent_publication_count']
