The ability to search literature and collect/aggregate metrics around publications is a central tool for modern research. Both academic and industry researchers across hundreds of scientific disciplines, from astronomy to zoology, increasingly rely on search to understand what has been published and by whom. Microsoft Academic Search is an open platform, which provides a variety of metrics and experiences for the research community, in addition to literature search. As the covering data came from many sources, the profile of an author with an ambiguous name tends to contain noise, resulting in papers that are incorrectly assigned to others. KDD Cup 2013 Track 1 challenges participants to determine which papers in an author profile were truly written by the given author.
