Building a Conference Recommender System Based on SciGraph and WikiCFP

SciGraph is a Linked Open Data graph published by Springer Nature which contains information about conferences and conference publications. In this paper, we discuss how this dataset can be utilized to build a conference recommendation system, yielding a recall@10 of up to 0.665, and a MAP of up to 0.540, generating recommendations based on authors, abstracts, and keywords. Furthermore, we show how the dataset can be linked to WikiCFP to recommend upcoming conferences. © 2019, The Author(s).
