Looks interesting! My biggest initial dislike is that the author-profile data seems extremely messy. For example, looking up my supervisor, who has a fairly unique name, his publications are split across a full 10 separate profiles: http://scholr.ly/results/?q=michael+mateas&x=0&y=0&page=0 http://scholr.ly/results/?q=michael+mateas&x=0&y=0&#...
It realize it's a rather tricky problem to fix, since not every pair of identical names is actually the same person. Doing a vanity-search on myself (http://scholr.ly/results/?q=mark+j.+nelson&x=0&y=0&page=0 http://scholr.ly/results/?q=mark+j.+nelson&x=0&y=0&#...), there are 5 profiles with precisely the same way of writing the name ("Mark J. Nelson"), but only 2 of those are me.
If that data were cleaner it'd really increase the usefulness of the profiles. May take quite a bit of magic, though.
- mhluongo 14y agoIt does take some magic. Luckily there's been quite a bit of work done of the topic (eg, Lise Getoor & co http://scholr.ly/person/5486566/lise-getoor)- http://scholr.ly/person/5486566/lise-getoor)- we should show some serious improvements soon. In the meantime, I'll manually merge those profiles you've pointed out :) Thanks for taking the time!
