Is this conference a top-tier? ConfAssist: An assistive conflict resolution framework for conference categorization

作者:

Highlights:

• Top-tier conferences are much more stable than other conferences and the inherent dynamics of these groups differs to a very large extent.

• Reported experiments with impact factor and acceptance rate to refute the common consensus among research community.

• Proposed diversity based features that captures the inherent dynamics of conferences.

• Our proposed system achieve as high as 85.18% classification accuracy.

• We also compare the dynamics of the newly started conferences with the older conferences to identify the initial signals of popularity.
