dblp-crawler

Asynchronous high-concurrency dblp crawler, use with caution!

异步高并发dblp爬虫，慎用！

Crawl papers from dblp and connect them into an undirected graph. Each edge is a paper, each node is an author.

从dblp爬文章并将其组织为无向图。图的边是文章，节点是作者。

Write to a Neo4J database

docker pull neo4j
docker run --rm -it --name neo4j -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 -v "$(pwd)/save/neo4j:/data" -e NEO4J_AUTH=none neo4j

e.g. write to neo4j://localhost:7687:

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -p l/JiangchuanLiu neo4j --uri neo4j://localhost:7687

Only crawl the paper after specified year

e.g. crawl the paper after 2016 (include 2016)

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -p l/JiangchuanLiu -y 2016 networkx --dest summary.json

Keywords with two or more words

e.g. super resolution (publications with title contains both "super" and "resolution" will be selected)

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -p l/JiangchuanLiu -k "'super','resolution'" networkx --dest summary.json

Init authors from journal

e.g. init authors from ACM MM and MMSys (db/conf/mm is the key for ACM MM in dblp: "https://dblp.org/db/conf/mm/index.xml", db/conf/mmsys is the key for MMSys in dblp: "https://dblp.org/db/conf/mmsys/index.xml")

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -j db/conf/mm -j db/conf/mmsys networkx --dest summary.json

Init authors from journal in some variables

e.g. there is a CCF_A in dblp_crawler.data contains keys of CCF A conferences, and MMSys is also great but not in CCF A

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -j "importlib.import_module('dblp_crawler.data').CCF_A" -j db/conf/mmsys networkx --dest summary.json

importlib.import_module is flexible, you can import your own variables through this.

Init authors in some variables

e.g. want to crawl publications of those authors stored in neo4j database

python -m dblp_crawler -k video -k edge -p "importlib.import_module('dblp_crawler.data').authors_in_neo4j('neo4j://localhost:7687')" networkx --dest summary.json

importlib.import_module is flexible, you can import your own variables through this.

dblp_crawler.filter Usage

Crawling papers takes a long time, so do not filter the papers in the crawling process. Instead, use a separate program dblp_crawler.filter` to filter the papers.

python -m dblp_crawler.filter -h                                                       
usage: __main__.py [-h] -i INPUT -o OUTPUT -f FILTER

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        Input file path.
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output file path.
  -f FILTER, --filter FILTER
                        Filter functions.

Use internal filter

e.g. drop_old_publications is an internal function that drop publication by year

python -m dblp_crawler.filter -i summary.json -o summary.filter.json -f "lambda summary: drop_old_publications(summary, 2016)"

Use multiple filters

e.g. drop_old_publications is an internal function that drop publications by year; drop_nodes_by_all_publications is an internal function that drop nodes by the sum of publications

python -m dblp_crawler.filter -i summary.json -o summary.filter.json \
  -f "lambda summary: drop_old_person_publications(summary, 2018)" \
  -f "lambda summary: drop_old_cooperation(summary, 2018)" \
  -f "lambda summary: drop_nodes_by_all_publications(summary, 4)" \
  -f "lambda summary: drop_edges_by_all_publications(summary, 4)"

Use your own filter

e.g. another method to use -f "lambda summary: drop_old_publications(summary, 2016)"

python -m dblp_crawler.filter -i summary.json -o summary.filter.json -f "lambda summary: importlib.import_module('dblp_crawler.filter').drop_old_publications(summary, 2016)"

importlib.import_module is flexible, you can import your own variables through this.
