We propose gambit, a rule-based disambiguation tool that only relies on name and email information. We evaluate its performance against two commonly used algorithms with similar characteristics on manually disambiguated ground-truth data from the Gnome GTK project. Our results show that gambit significantly outperforms both algorithms, achieving an F1 score of 0.985.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.05666v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.05666v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"gambit-an-open-source-name-disambiguation","repo_url":"https://github.com/gotec/gambit","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
