Abstract

This document contains a brief description of my PhD research, with problem definition, contribution to the field of reputation systems and user modeling, and proposed solution. The proposed method and algorithm enable evaluation of contributions in online knowledge-based communities. The innovation in the approach is the use of authority and specifying reputation on the keyword-level.
