Abstract
A method and system of expertise discovery in social networks accesses behavioral information associated with users' use of a computer-implemented social network, whereby the computer-implemented social network enables its users to have subscribing relationships with other users. Expertise levels of users of the social network with respect to one or more topics are automatically inferred from the behavioral information. The behavioral information may comprise interactions by other users with respect to content published by a user. The expertise levels of users may be inferred in accordance with the expertise levels of other users who are subscribed to them. Recommendations of users based on their expertise levels may be delivered, as well as explanations for the recommendations. Expertise levels of multiple users and/or expertise levels of a user over time may be delivered for display.
