Abstract

There is increasing interest in systems that aid employees to find those with the expertise they require. This paper discusses the evolution of expert finding tools, with particular reference to solutions that exploit email sources and identifies related gaps. The authors then propose Email Knowledge Extraction (EKE), a system for expertise discovery which addresses the issues highlighted by gap analysis.
