1. Introduction
• Presenting visualization of the authors and papers network• Carrying out a deeper analysis of the generated networks • The main aim
• To use such a graph of authors and papers to recommend similar items to a target user

2. Motivation
• A list of recommended authors and papers
• To plan the conference participation more efficiently and effectively
• Awareness support for researchers (Reinhardt et al., 2012; Fisichella et al.,
2010; Ochoa et al., 2009; Henry et al., 2009)
• Scientific recommender systems (Huang et al., 2002; Wang & Blei, 2010)
• Such a priority list
• Support the awareness of the attendees
• Empower the network of like-minded authors in the attendees’ particular research focus

• RQ1. How are the authors connected and which authors share more connections and are more central in terms of sharing commonalities with the others?
• RQ2. How are the papers connected to each other in terms of similarity?

1. Finding patterns of similarity between authors and papers2. Visualizing networks of the LAK authors and papers

3. Data processing3.1. Tag clouds
• The TF-IDF algorithm• Weighted list of the most commonly used terms in research
articles
• Using default algorithm provided by Mahout on the text files extracted from the RDF files
• Removing the stop words • Setting the configuration variables within Mahout to 90%
• Outcome• A so-called dictionary of all the terms in the LAK dataset
• A binary sequence file including the TF-IDF weighted vectors
page 8
3. Data processing3.2. Computing similarity
• Using T-index algorithm (Fazeli et al., 2010)
• Collaborative filtering recommender algorithm
• Generates a graph of users• The nodes are users and the edges show the relationship between
users • Originally makes recommendations based on the ratings data of users
• Extending the T-index algorithm
• Process tags and keywords extracted from the linked data
• Using Jena APIs to • Process RDF files
• Handle Ontology Web Language (OWL) files describing the generated graph of authors and papers

• RQ1. How are the authors connected and which authors share more connections and are more central in terms of sharing commonalities with the others?
• RQ2. How are the papers connected to each other in terms of similarity?

The top ten central papers
page 17
5. Discussion and conclusion
• The central authors and top ten papers will appear more often in the top recommendation list
• Although most of the central authors also appear in top ten papers’ list, the order is not the same
• Some authors has more than one paper
• Not each and every one of the authors’ papers individually has the highest similarity to the other papers
