TL;DR
A SNA based approach for academic events recommendation problem is realized and scientific communities analysis and visualization are performed to provide an insight into the communities of event series.
Abstract
Combining Social Network Analysis and recommender systems is a challenging research field. In scientific communities, recommender systems have been applied to provide useful tools for papers, books as well as expert finding. However, academic events (conferences, workshops, international symposiums etc.) are an important driven forces to move forwards cooperation among research communities. We realize a SNA based approach for academic events recommendation problem. Scientific communities analysis and visualization are performed to provide an insight into the communities of event series. A prototype is implemented based on the data from DBLP and EventSeer.net, and the result is observed in order to prove the approach.

This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation approaches.
Item-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms

This paper analyzes item-based collaborative ltering techniques and suggests that item- based algorithms provide dramatically better performance than user-based algorithms, while at the same time providing better quality than the best available userbased algorithms.

This paper surveys the landscape of actual and possible hybrid recommenders, and introduces a novel hybrid, EntreeC, a system that combines knowledge-based recommendation and collaborative filtering to recommend restaurants, and shows that semantic ratings obtained from the knowledge- based part of the system enhance the effectiveness of collaborative filtering.

Using computer databases of scientific papers in physics, biomedical research, and computer science, a network of collaboration between scientists in each of these disciplines is constructed, and a number of measures of centrality and connectedness in the same networks are studied.

This work uses data from three bibliographic databases in biology, physics, and mathematics to answer a broad variety of questions about collaboration patterns, such as the numbers of papers authors write, how many people they write them with, and what the typical distance between scientists is through the network.

This analysis considers different comparative metrics per publication venue, in particular the total and average number of citations as well as the impact factor which has so far only been considered for journals.
Toward alternative measures for ranking venues
53 Citations2007Yan Su, Dongwon Lee
This work proposes two novel measures for ranking the impacts of academic venues an easy-to-implement seed-based measure that does not use citation analysis, and a realistic browsing- based measure that takes an article reader's behavior into account.

This paper uses the SCEAS system as a base platform to introduce new methods that can be used for ranking scientific publications, and tunes the approach along the reasoning of the prizes 'VLDB 10 Year Award' and 'SIGMOD Test of Time Award'.

48 Citations2007Ziming Zhuang, Ergin Elmacioglu +2 more
This work proposes a set of novel heuristics to automatically discover prestigious (and low-quality) conferences by mining the characteristics of Program Committee members by examining the proposed cues both in isolation and combination under a classification scheme.
