Abstract
A 'Name Disambiguator' provides various techniques for implementing an interactive framework for resolving or disambiguating entity names (associated with objects such as publications) for entity searches where two or more same or similar names may refer to different entities. More specifically, the Name Disambiguator uses a combination of user input and automatic models to address the disambiguation problem. In various embodiments, the Name Disambiguator uses a two part process, including: 1) a global SVM trained from large sets of documents or objects in a simulated interactive mode, and 2) further personalization of local SVM models (associated with individual names or groups of names such as, for example, a group of coauthors) derived from the global SVM model. The result of this process is that large sets of documents or objects are rapidly and accurately condensed or clustered into ordered sets by that are organized by entity names.
