Abstract
The vast majority of the current author name disambiguation
solutions are designed to disambiguate a whole
digital library (DL) at once considering the entire repository.
However, these solutions besides being very
expensive and having scalability problems, also may
not benefit from eventual manual corrections, as they
may be lost whenever the process of disambiguating
the entire repository is required. In the real world, in
which repositories are updated on a daily basis, incremental
solutions that disambiguate only the newly introduced
citation records, are likely to produce improved
results in the long run. However, the problem of incremental
author name disambiguation has been largely
neglected in the literature. In this article we present a
new author name disambiguation method, specially
designed for the incremental scenario. In our experiments,
our new method largely outperforms recent
incremental proposals reported in the literature as well
as the current state-of-the-art non-incremental method.
