Author name disambiguation based on heterogeneous graph neural network

With the dramatic increase in the number of published papers and the continuous progress of deep learning technology, the research on name disambiguation is at a historic peak, the number of paper authors is increasing every year, and the situation of authors with the same name is intensifying, therefore, it is a great challenge to accurately assign the newly published papers to their respective authors. The current mainstream methods for author disambiguation are mainly divided into two methods: feature-based clustering and connection-based clustering, but none of the current mainstream methods can efficiently deal with the author name disambiguation problem, For this reason, this paper proposes the author name ablation method based on the relational graph heterogeneous attention neural network, first extract the semantic and relational information of the paper, use the constructed graph convolutional embedding module to train the splicing to get a better feature representation, and input the constructed network to get the vector representation. As the existing graph heterogeneous neural network can not learn different types of nodes and edge interaction, add multiple attention, design ablation experiments to verify its impact on the network. Finally improve the traditional hierarchical clustering method, combined with the graph relationship and topology, using training vectors instead of distance calculation, can automatically determine the optimal k-value, improve the accuracy and efficiency of clustering. The experimental results show that the average F1 value of this paper’s method on the Aminer dataset is 0.834, which is higher than other mainstream methods.
