Report summary

Purdue University West Lafayette Department of Computer Science in 2015-2017 reads as a 17-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Computer Science as the leading field (41% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Artificial Intelligence as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Big Data and Business Intelligence as the leading topic (4% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is of concern for a 17-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Walter Gautschi (106 weighted works; Mathematical functions and polynomials, Analytic Number Theory Research). The strongest pairings are Bedřich Beneš and Daniel G. Aliaga (7 shared works, weight 3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 0.5, around Artificial Intelligence, Signal Processing, Computer Networks and Communications, led by Elisa Bertino, Fang-Yu Rao.
