Skill Quantification-Based Team Formation Problem for Scientific Research Cooperation
摘要
In academic institutions, researchers usually carry out scientific researches in the form of cooperation, which makes team formation an important issue. Currently, most research on team formation focuses more on communication efficiency, but less on candidate ability, may leading to poor team performance. To address this problem, a quantification model is proposed to quantify the skill level of each candidate. Then, a team formation problem in co-author networks is formalized, which aims at maximizing team skill level and team relationship strength simultaneously. After that, a team formation method based on Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm is designed. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted on a real dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the baselines in terms of two optimization objectives, while exhibiting superior stability and convergence speed.
