Abstract
A method includes executing, via a processor, a document-oriented search based on a query in an index of documents to generate a set of document results, each document associated with at least one potential expert. The method includes analyzing the document results to produce a list of potential experts. The method includes calculating an expertise score for each potential expert based on a calculated content score and metadata score for each potential expert. The method includes calculating an evidence diversity score for each potential expert. The method includes calculating a confidence score for each potential expert based on a diversity-constrained content score and a diversity-constrained metadata score for each potential expert. The method includes displaying a list of potential experts with associated confidence scores.
