Abstract

This study investigates recommendations for interdisciplinary research collaboration based on the weak ties theory. Contents-based features are proposed to recommend interdisciplinary collaboration considering that some researchers who have shown a preference for interdisciplinary collaboration could be connected even if they have dissimilar research profiles. Therefore, we inferred the preference of interdisciplinary research collaboration for every researcher, and considered features such as highlighting dissimilar researchers depending on their preferences. The features are designed to have typical similarity measures when the researchers do not prefer interdisciplinary research collaboration. We evaluated our proposed features with the baseline features of patent application datasets and the former methods outperformed the latter methods.
