Expertise Mining

Abstract. In this paper we present our approach for expertise mining, addressing several research problems such as expertise topic extraction, expert finding and expert profiling. We propose a hybrid solution inspired by different research fields such as expert finding, competency manage-ment, terminology extraction, keyword extraction and concept extraction. We introduce an expertise benchmarking dataset gathered by exploiting information about workshop committee members and we present Saffron, a system designed to give an overview of research areas and experts and to assist users in finding skilled individuals.
