Conference Sequence Extracting in Researchers'Publication Record

Researchers' publication sequence contain some important information which can be utilized to discover the research areas trend,reflect the relative ranking of academic conferences,and indicate the hot research topics.A systematic method is proposed to discover the knowledge hidden in the publication sequences to identify the connection between different research disciplines and to understand the evolution of the research area.More specifically,for the inaccuracy of the consecutive conferences sequences extracted from publication sequences,a new method is presented to extract sequences based on time slice information,so that the clustering accuracy can be improved.The quantitative and qualitative analysis of experiments in real datasets has been provided to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.
