A CALL FOR HELP:

Warning: the data displayed here is KNOWN to contain errors (our estimate is that around 10% of citation counts are incorrect). We would very much appreciate any efforts to reduce the error rate. If you would like to help:

choose a "random" conference/year pair (e.g., STOC 1997)
check if this pair has been already claimed in this blog; if yes, go to (1)
post a short message claiming your pair (e.g., "CLAIMING STOC 1997") on the blog.
follow the links to check the citations. For each incorrect citation, provide two lines: (1) paper title (2) a Google Scholar link to the correct paper
Email the file to Suresh Venkatasubramanian.

(and yes, we know that this algorithm has halting problems). Many thanks in advance. Of course, feel free to send us individual corrections as well.
