Worked on the acl-org/acl-anthology repository to enhance author data management by implementing a feature for name variants, disambiguation, and alias handling. Developed a canonical-to-ID mapping within a YAML configuration file, enabling the system to resolve aliases and improve the accuracy of author attribution. This approach allowed for more reliable searchability and reduced ambiguity in author records, particularly by linking canonical names to unique identifiers and supporting alternate name forms. Focused on data management best practices, the work emphasized structured data representation and maintainability. The contribution centered on YAML for configuration and data handling, with attention to data quality improvements throughout.
