Abstract
“Computer science research areas are often arbitrarily defined by researchers themselves based on their own opinions or on conference rankings. First, we aim to create an automated and objective way of classifying conferences in computer science research areas based on topic modelling. We then study the topic relatedness of our computer science areas to identify isolated disciplinary silos and clusters that display more interdisciplinarity and collaboration. Furthermore, we compare the career length, publication growth rate and collaboration patterns for men and women in these research areas.”
