Detection of head experts in social network

Abstract

This paper introduces a method for head expert identification in a social network based on local community detection and formal concept analysis. There are several methods for expert identification, but most of these methods try to find an expert for a particular area. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identify a head expert. This person is in the background and most of the time he is working across different areas of research, and he can establish teams of experts for particular areas.
