Name Disambiguation
Richard Ernst

This tutorial is to discuss in depth the relevant papers on name disambiguation, the main techniques discussed in those papers, and how those techniques were applied. A new relevant name problem tangential to name disambiguation, co-citation is discussed with its application to classifying the citation by category of authors. The specific example of the web site securityfocus.com credits the discovery of a vulnerability in text, that needs to be categorized into a single value from an enumerated set.
