Conversation
Add normalizeTitle() that handles en-dash/em-dash, smart quotes, and case differences when matching paper titles to artifact URLs. Fixes 151 papers (e.g. USENIX Security 2025) where titles differ only by unicode variants like en-dash (U+2013) vs hyphen (U+002D).

Problem
Paper titles sometimes differ between
artifacts.jsonandauthor_profiles.jsonby unicode characters — e.g. en-dash–(U+2013) vs hyphen-(U+002D), or smart quotes vs ASCII quotes. This causes ~151 papers to show no artifact link on profile pages even though artifact URLs exist in the data.Example: "SoK: Automated TTP Extraction from CTI Reports – Are We There Yet?" (USENIX Security 2025) has a Zenodo link in
artifacts.json, but the profile stores the title with a regular hyphen, so the lookup fails.Fix
Add
normalizeTitle()inreprodb-profile-page.jsthat normalizes unicode dashes and quotes to their ASCII equivalents (in addition to the existing lowercase + trailing-dot stripping). Used in all three artifact URL map operations:artifacts.json)
