在只有【论文标题、发布时间、作者、会议名称】这四种信息的情况下，首先提取出所有这四种信息：

代码产生的结果如下，数据结构类似于headerTable，看结果就知道了，不再介绍：

authorDict={} #{authorName: total(frequence,startYear,endYear),{eachConf(frequence,endYear)}}

    authorDict,conferenceDict=CountAuthorAndConferenceFrequence(tranDB)
    print len(authorDict) #31886
    print authorDict["Ying Wu"]
    #[51,2000,2015,{'KDD': [1,2007,2007],'SDM': [1,2005,2005],'CVPR': [49,2015]}]
    print conferenceDict
    #{'CVPR': 7722,'PAKDD': 1760,'ICML': 1111,'KDD': 2360,'COLT': 736,'ICDM': 3873,'DMKD': 47,'SIGIR': 2772,'ECML/PKDD': 1036,'SDM': 1156,'WSDM': 618,'NIPS': 3852}

代码为：

def CountAuthorAndConferenceFrequence(tranDB):
    authorDict={} #{authorName: total(frequence,endYear)}}
    conferenceDict={} #{conference: count}
    for i,(conf,year,authorList) in enumerate(tranDB):
        print "trans",i,"=="*20
        if conf is np.nan or year is np.nan or authorList is np.nan:
            continue #for tranDB[2426,:]
            
        if conferenceDict.has_key(conf):
            conferenceDict[conf]+=1
        else:
            conferenceDict[conf]=1
        for author in authorList.split("|"):
            if authorDict.has_key(author):
                #total(frequence,endYear)
                authorDict[author][0]+=1
                if year<authorDict[author][1]:
                    authorDict[author][1]=year
                elif year>authorDict[author][2]:
                    authorDict[author][2]=year
                
                #eachConf(frequence,endYear)
                if authorDict[author][3].has_key(conf):
                    authorDict[author][3][conf][0]+=1
                    if year<authorDict[author][3][conf][1]:
                        authorDict[author][3][conf][1]=year
                    elif year>authorDict[author][3][conf][2]:
                        authorDict[author][3][conf][2]=year
                else:
                    authorDict[author][3][conf]=[1,year]
            else:
                authorDict[author]=[1,{}]
                authorDict[author][3][conf]=[1,year]
    return authorDict,conferenceDict

提取核心研究者，就是阈值控制，没技术含量：

'''
authorDict={} #{authorName: total(frequence,endYear)}}
conferenceDict={} #{conference: count}
