Abstract

We present a technique to group search-engine returned citations for person-name queries, such that the search-engine returned citations in each group belong to the same person. To group the returned citations, we use a multi-faceted approach that considers evidence from three facets: (1) attributes, (2) links, and (3) page similarity. Based on the three facets, we construct a relatedness confidence matrix for pairs of citations. We then merge pairs whose matching confidence value is above an empirically determined threshold. Experimental results from the implementation of our multi-faceted approach are promising.
