An Expertise Recommender Using Web Mining

In this paper weexplore techniquesto minewebpagesof scientists to extract informationregardingtheir expertise, build expertise chains and referral webs, and semi automatically combinethis information with directory information services to create a recommendersystem (ResnickandVarian1997)that permitsqueryby expertise.
