ABSTRACT
A graph theory based method is proposed to exploit name transformation for personal name-matching. Experiment results on three personal name datasets show that the method is effective.

Web personal name disambiguation based on reference entity tables mined from the web
WIDM '09: Proceedings of the eleventh international workshop on Web information and data managementAmbiguous personal names are common on the Web, which pose a challenge for many different tasks. The traditional disambiguation employs the clustering methods. However, without reference entity tables, the clustering method can only identify whether two ...
Unsupervised personal name disambiguation
CONLL '03: Proceedings of the seventh conference on Natural language learning at HLT-NAACL 2003 - Volume 4This paper presents a set of algorithms for distinguishing personal names with multiple real referents in text, based on little or no supervision. The approach utilizes an unsupervised clustering technique over a rich feature space of biographic facts, ...
