Dear Tasleem, I assume you mean here linkage of names in citations? There is a lot of work you can find on this topic. I personally did some research on soft computing techniques for it (see e.g. the paper Properties of possibilistic string comparison). Apart from that the Jaro similarity measure and Levenstein distance has proven useful for name comparison. May I ask why you need a soft computing technique?

@Antoon, I am working on Soft-Computing based Name Disambiguation Techniques, however, I have seen that supervised techniques like SVM or Neural Networks need training and it is not efficient or even possible to train them for all types of authors.

I am aware of this all but I have mentioned in my Ph. D. synopsis that I will develop a soft computing based name disambiguation algorithm and have used fuzzy clustering to deal with split citation problem. Will that be considered a soft computing based name disambiguation algorithm?

Yes fuzzy clustering is a soft computing technique

So it means that I have been able to develop an algorithm as per the statement made in my synopsis.

Thanks @Antoon
