Information access systems need to be able to extract and exploit various sources of information (usually in text format) about such individuals, and to represent them in a suitable way usually in the form of a profile. In this article, we tackle the problems of profile-based expert recommendation and document filtering from a machine learning perspective by clustering expert textual sources to build profiles and capture the different hidden topics in which the experts are interested. The experts will then be represented by means of multifaceted profiles. Our experiments show that this is a valid technique to improve the performance of expert finding and document filtering.}, organization = {This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under project TIN2016-77902-C3-2-P, and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF-FEDER).}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Cluster analysis}, keywords = {Content-based recommendation}, keywords = {Expert finding}, keywords = {Filtering algorithm}, keywords = {User profiles}, title = {Automatic construction of multi-faceted user profiles using text clustering and its application to expert recommendation and filtering problems}, doi = {10.1016/j.knosys.2019.105337}, author = {Campos Ibáñez, Luis Miguel and Fernández Luna, Juan Manuel and Huete Guadix, Juan Francisco and Redondo Expósito, Luis}, }
