Mahyuddin K. M. Nasution, Shahrul Azman Mohd Noah · 2011
There has been quite a number of research efforts in extracting academic social network from on-line open sources such as the DBLP, ACM DL and IEEXplore. Extraction of such a network is usually based on the concept of co-occurrences. One of the issues in such efforts is actually involved extracting reliable and trusted network particularly when dealing with the heterogeneity of features in the Web. In this paper we demonstrate the use of association rule to enhance existing superficial method for extracting social network from online database such as the DBLP. The approach proposed has shown the capacity to extract social relation as well as the strength of these relations.
