Presented at: Personal Identification and Collaborations: Knowledge Mediation and Extraction (PICKME2008)
by Paul Buitelaar, Thomas Eigner
We describe an approach towards automatic, dynamic and timecritical support for competency management and expertise search through topic extraction from scientific publications. In the use case we present, we focus on the automatic extraction of scientific topics and technologies from publicly available publications using web sites like Google Scholar. We discuss an experiment for our own organization, DFKI, as example of a knowledge organization. The paper presents evaluation results over a sample of 48 DFKI researchers that responded to our request for a-posteriori evaluation of automatically extracted topics. The results of this evaluation are encouraging and provided us with useful feedback for further improving our methods. The extracted topics can be organized in an association network that can be used further to analyze how competencies are interconnected, thereby enabling also a better exchange of expertise and competence between researchers.
