Qualify

The "qualify" feature, given an input list of users, outputs a list of qualified reviewers that have a certain amount of combined papers in the specified venues. These values can be seen in src/constants.py.

uv run src/main.py qualify --xml data/dblp.xml --output output/qualified-reviewers.csv --users input/Users.csv

Optionally add the --reverse flag to output only the unqualified reviewers.

See for detailed flags:

uv run src/main.py qualify -h

The output includes these additional fields:

total_qualifying_papers: Sum of the papers published by the author in e.g. SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, EDBT, CIDR

total_publication_count: Sum of all papers in DBLP by the author

disambiguation_level: With values:

• certain: The matching from the input user to the DBLP entity was done by a URL/ID
• doubt: The matching was done using heuristics (organization/country/author name)
• failed: All of the people with the same name were merged into one entity. These results can be wildly inaccurate

Notes

There's a script ./misc/input-statistics.py that calculates how "full" the data is and what URLs are missing.
