DAC: Descendant-aware clustering algorithm for network-based topic emergence prediction

作者:

Highlights:

• Authors are more topically similar when they are from multigraph clusters.

• Changes in the definition of topics lead to more human-readable topics.

• Topics from only meta-data of the publication records show higher topical coherence.

• Use of multiple bibliographic networks is beneficial to author-based topic modeling.

• Author-based topic modeling allows effective merge/split topic evolution tracking.
