New embedding models tackle funder name disambiguation in scientific publication records
A newly posted arXiv paper introduces multi-functional embedding models that link messy funder name strings in publication records to consistent identities. The work addresses the problem that inconsistent funder naming makes it hard to study at scale how research money is distributed across disciplines, institutions, and regions. Cleaner funder data could improve large-scale analyses of research funding patterns.
