Collecting Expertise of Researchers for Finding Relevant Experts in a Peer-Review Setting

This study presents a solution to the challenge of finding experts for program committees by leveraging researchers' expertise. The approach involves collecting a dataset of expertise from public sources like DBLP and aligning topics to ontologies such as SwetoDblp. It may entail creating a topic taxonomy and evaluating expertise based on criteria like publication impact and history. The proposed evaluation strategy involves comparing results with traditional committee selections. This paper highlights the importance of tapping into researchers' knowledge to streamline the selection process for conference chairs and organizers.
