ExpertSeers is a generic framework for expert recommendation based on a digital library. Given a query term q, ExpertSeers recommends experts of q by retrieving authors who published relevant papers of a certain quality. ExpertSeers is domain independent. It can be applied to different disciplines and applications because it is automated and not tailored to a specific discipline.

We apply the framework to build CSSeers, an expert recommender systems based on the CiteSeerX digital library and recommends experts in computer science. Visit http://csseers.ist.psu.edu/ to see the demonstration.
