1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- contributing a plurality of behaviors to an expertise clustering function executed on a processor-based device, wherein the expertise clustering function assigns a user to an expertise cohort based, at least in part, on an inference from the plurality of behaviors; and
receiving a recommendation generated by a computer-implemented recommender function, wherein the recommender function generates the recommendation in accordance with the expertise cohort.

Abstract
A computer-implemented adaptive expertise clustering system and method generates expertise cohorts based on inferences from behavioral information and applies the expertise cohorts in generating recommendations for delivery to users. The expertise clustering may be informed by the evaluation of the contents of computer-implemented objects. Behaviors associated with members of specific expertise cohorts after specific events may inform the recommendations. Recommendations may comprise, for example, other users or process steps. Explanations for the recommendations may be provided to recommendation recipients.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
-
a computer-implemented function that clusters a plurality of users into a plurality of expertise cohorts based, at least in part, on an inference from a first plurality of behaviors; a computer-implemented assessment function that assesses a second plurality of behaviors associated with members of at least one of the expertise cohorts; and a recommender function executed on a processor-based computing device that generates a recommendation based, at least in part, on the assessment of the second plurality of behaviors. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
