Abstract

We introduce a new approach to literature search that is based on finding mixed-membership communities on an augmented co-authorship graph (ACA) with a scalable generative model. An ACA graph contains two types of edges: (1) coauthorship links and (2) links between researchers with substantial expertise overlap. Our solution eliminates the biases introduced by either looking at citations of a paper or doing a Web search. A case study on PubMed shows the benefits of our approach.
