In this research, we propose a new evidence-oriented framework to expert search. Here, the evidence is defined as a quadruple, . Each quadruple denotes that a Query and an Expert, with a certain Relation between them, are found in a specific Document. In the proposed framework, the task of Expert Search can be accomplished in three steps, namely, 1) evidence extraction, 2) evidence quality evaluation, and 3) evidence merging. Thus, our experiments include the following items. We will explain them in detail later in the following sections.
