Abstract

Link Prediction is a common task for social networks and recommendation systems. In this paper, we study the problem of link prediction on Scopus co-authorship networks. We used many well-known relational features, and evaluate them with five different classifiers. Finally, we perform a feature analysis to determine the most crucial features in this setup.

The dataset was generated with Elsevier API http://api.elsevier.com and Scopus http://www.scopus.com.
