Expertise Search in a Time-Varying Social Network
2008
2008 The Ninth International Conference on Web-Age Information Management
This paper is concerned with the problem of expertise search in a time-varying social network. ...
Specifically, the time information is modelled in a forward-and-backward propagation process in the random walk. The proposed model has been applied to expertise search in an academic social network. ...
Conclusion In this paper, we have investigated the problem of expertise search in a heterogeneous social network. We have formalized the heterogeneous social network using a random walk model. ...

Expertise Discovery in Decentralised Online Social Networks
2017
Proceedings of the 2017 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining 2017 - ASONAM '17
In this paper we propose to use crowd sourcing for information retrieval in a DSN. We analyze a popular information retrieval problem called expert search in a social network. ...
Using experimental evaluation, we show that, the search algorithms proposed in this paper can be as ecient as a greedy search algorithm with access to entire social network information. ...
The social search procedure has similarities with (a) infection propagation in a network [11, 14] , (b) rumour propagation in a social network [19] and (c) models of biological infection outbreaks ...

Enriching employee ontology for enterprises with knowledge discovery from social networks
2013
Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining - ASONAM '13
At the macroscopic level, conclusions can be drawn, among others, about collective behavior and expertise in varying granularities (i.e. single employee to the company as a whole). ...
In this paper, we propose an employee ontology that integrates user static properties from formal structures with dynamic interests and expertise extracted from informal communication signals. ...
As a consequence employee interests, skills and expertise are both context and time dependent: can differ at multiple points in time, and be different at the same point in time yet within the boundaries ...
