Abstract
The technology described herein identifies a user or user group with relevant experience for a yet to be completed task that is part of a project. The technology described herein improves on past efforts to identify users with relevant experience by considering the project context of an active task and a collaboration history of the user or user group. The technology builds a project-context oriented task description that includes the task description of the active task along with the task descriptions of other tasks within the project. The project-oriented task description is used to generate a vector embedding, which are used to identify similar tasks. Once a similar task is identified, the user or user group associated with the similar task are candidates to provide relevant experience. A collaboration network may be used to identify users who worked together previously on a task or project.
