Understanding how interdisciplinary research teams converge on shared knowledge is a persistent challenge. This paper presents a novel, multi-layer, AI-driven analytical framework for mapping research convergence in interdisciplinary teams.…

In this paper, we focus on the community detection problem in multiplex networks, i.e., networks with multiple layers having same node sets and no inter-layer connections. In particular, we look for groups of nodes that can be recognized as…
