In this work, we investigate individual searcher situation where our objective is to detect potential problems before they happen and provide appropriate recommendations to address those problems.

In this work, we look at how we could recommend a searcher to collaborate with someone as early as possible in their search process. The article has been accepted in JASIST, and should be available soon.

In this work, we investigated how quickly with as little data as possible, we could figure out the roles that individuals play in a collaborative project, and use that information to enhance that collaboration.

This is a first step toward using tinyDATA ideas for evaluation and predictions in exploratory search.
