Multi-aspect expertise matching for review assignment

Review assignment is a common task that many people such as conference organizers, journal editors, and grant administrators would have to do routinely. As a computational problem, it involves matching a set of candidate reviewers with a paper or proposal to be reviewed. A common deficiency of all existing work on solving this problem is that they do not consider the multiple aspects of topics or expertise and all match the entire document to be reviewed with the overall expertise of a reviewer. As a result, if a document contains multiple subtopics, which often happens, existing methods would not attempt to assign reviewers to cover all the subtopics; instead, it is quite possible that all the assigned reviewers would cover the major subtopic quite well, but not covering any other subtopic.
