Abstract
Understanding people’s expertise is not a trivial task since it is time-consuming when manually executed. Automated approaches have become a topic of research in recent years in various scientific fields, such as information retrieval, databases, and machine learning. This article carries out a survey on automated expertise retrieval, i.e., finding data linked to a person that describes the person’s expertise, which allows tasks such as profiling or finding people with a certain expertise. A faceted taxonomy is introduced that covers many of the existing approaches and classifies them on the basis of features chosen from studying the state-of-the-art. A list of open issues, with suggestions for future research topics, is introduced as well. It is hoped that our taxonomy and review of related works on expertise retrieval will be useful when analyzing different proposals and will allow a better understanding of existing work and a systematic classification of future work on the topic.

The LExR Collection for Expertise Retrieval in Academia
SIGIR '16: Proceedings of the 39th International ACM SIGIR conference on Research and Development in Information RetrievalExpertise retrieval has been the subject of intense research over the past decade, particularly with the public availability of benchmark test collections for expertise retrieval in enterprises. Another domain which has seen comparatively less research ...
Expertise retrieval in bibliographic network: a topic dominance learning approach
CIKM '13: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on Information & Knowledge ManagementExpert finding in bibliographic networks has received increased interests in recent years. This task concerns with finding relevant researchers for a given topic. Motivated by the observation that rarely do all coauthors contribute to a paper equally, ...
Context injection in expert finding
WebMedia '22: Proceedings of the Brazilian Symposium on Multimedia and the WebExpert finding is a subject of research in information retrieval and, often, is taken to mean expertise retrieval within a specific organization. The task involves finding an expert on a given topic of interest. Even though there are several proposals ...
