解决作者姓名消歧中尾部作者被误合并的问题
GRAND-HC: Graph-Refined Author Name Disambiguation

- 构建异构论文图,用图注意力网络学习作者嵌入
- 提出动态重加权损失,提升尾部作者区分度
- 适合大规模学术数据库的作者消歧任务
从头开始的作者姓名消歧(SND)将具有模糊姓名的论文分组为不同真实作者的簇。现有方法存在两个关键局限:(1) 作者分布长尾特性导致表示学习偏差,造成尾部作者过度合并;(2) 现有聚类数估计方法在长论文序列下不可靠,限制了大规模部署。我们提出 extbf{GRAND-HC},一个完整的端到端 SND 框架。通过共作者、共机构和共会议关系构建异构论文图,使用图注意力网络作为嵌入主干。 extbf{和谐对比学习(HCL)} 动态重设训练损失,抑制对高产作者的过拟合,学习更具区分性的嵌入。 extbf{图优化距离矩阵(GRDM)} 利用图拓扑优化成对距离,进一步防止尾部作者被过度合并。同时,轻量级 extbf{论文压缩模块(PCM)} 实现跨不同规模的准确聚类数估计。最后,层次聚合聚类输出最终结果。大量实验表明,GRAND-HC 在宏平均 F1 上达到当前最优性能。该系统已在十亿级学术数据库中部署。源码:https://github.com/baokou-fw2/GRAND-HC。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
From-Scratch Name Disambiguation (SND) groups papers sharing an ambiguous name into clusters of distinct real-world authors. Existing methods suffer from two critical limitations: (1) inherent long-tailed author distribution biases representation learning, causing over-merging of tail authors; (2) existing cluster number estimation methods are unreliable for long paper sequences, hindering large-scale deployment. We propose \textbf{GRAND-HC}, a complete end-to-end SND framework. We construct a heterogeneous paper graph via co-author, co-organization, and co-venue relations, using a graph attention network as the embedding backbone. \textbf{Harmony Contrastive Learning (HCL)} dynamically reweights training loss to suppress overfitting to prolific authors, learning discriminative embeddings. A \textbf{Graph-Refined Distance Matrix (GRDM)} leverages graph topology to optimize pairwise distances, further preventing tail author over-merging. Meanwhile, a lightweight \textbf{Paper Compression Module (PCM)} achieves accurate cluster number estimation across varying scales. Finally, Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering outputs the final clusters. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art macro F1 performance. GRAND-HC has been deployed in a billion-scale academic database. Source code: https://github.com/baokou-fw2/GRAND-HC.
