This paper proposes a framework to analyze the interdisciplinary collaboration in a coauthorship network from a meso perspective using topic modeling: (1) a customized topic model is developed to capture and formalize the interdisciplinary feature; and (2) the two algorithms Diversity Subgraph Extraction (DSE) and Constraint-based Diversity Subgraph Extraction (CDSE) are designed and implemented to extract a meso view, i.e. a diversity subgraph of the interdisciplinary collaboration. The proposed framework is demonstrated using a coauthorship network in the field of computer science. A comparison between DSE and Breadth First Search (BSF)- based subgraph extraction favors DSE in capturing the diversity in interdisciplinary collaboration. Potential possibilities for studying various research topics based on the proposed framework of analysis are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Enhancing semantic text similarity with functional semantic knowledge (FOP) in patents

Hao Teng, Nan Wang, Hongyu Zhao, Yingtong Hu, Haitao Jin

Summary: In this paper, a new method based on functional semantic knowledge (FOP) is proposed for patent similarity calculation. Furthermore, patent STS datasets are processed and released as benchmarks. Preliminary results show that FOP-based methods are more suitable for STS tasks when combined with IPC codes, weights' assignments, and patent pre-trained vectors.

An automatic and association-based procedure for hierarchical publication subject categorization

Cristina Urdiales, Eduardo Guzman

Summary: Subject categorization of scientific publications is important for evaluating paper quality. Traditional mechanisms for categorization have been questioned, and a new method based on association rules is proposed. The method automatically defines publication categories based on the repetition or absence of relevant descriptors. The empirical study in the field of Physical Sciences and Engineering shows that the proposed method produces consistent and suitable categorization results.
