Aiming at solving the problem of author name ambiguity, we propose a novel name disambiguation method based on encoding attributes and graph topology. A word2vec model is used to construct document representation vectors by encoding the attributes of documents. The relationship of documents is then encoded into the document embedding vectors by a graph auto-encoder and similar documents are aggregated. To further improve the accuracy of the clustering results, a graph embedding model is proposed to introduce the document-document network and author-author network topology into the document vectors afterword, thus related papers are moved closer. This method utilizes the information of document attributes and relationship networks at the same time, finds document representation vectors using an unsupervised model and improves the performance of name disambiguation. Experimental results on the real author dataset AMiner show that our method is superior to several state-of-the-art graph-based solutions.
