In real world, expert search is not just only name matching. Since each kind of people has their own features, we try two methods to judge whether the person we have found is more likely to be an expert. One method is to determine the role of a person by the context of the pages; the other is to judge the authority of a person by the forms of pages where he appears considering the structure of the Intranet. The evaluation results show these new methodologies have been helpful to improve the performance of the expert search on TREC 08 queries.
