Abstract:	We introduce a novel approach to expert nding based on multi-step relevance propagation from documents to related candidates. Relevance propagation is modeled with an ab- sorbing random walk. The evaluation on the two ocial Enterprise TREC data sets demonstrates the advantage of our method over the state-of-the-art method based on one- step propagation.
