We introduce the temporal expertise profiling task: identifying the skills and knowledge of an individual and tracking how they change over time. To be able to capture and distinguish meaningful changes, we propose the concept of a hierarchical expertise profile, where topical areas are organized in a taxonomy. Snapshots of hierarchical profiles are then taken at regular time intervals. Further...
