Abstract

REACH is an intelligent, people-finding system that helps users to find someone in their social directory, especially those whom they do not fully remember or barely know. It analyzes a user's communication and social networking data to automatically extract all the contacts and derive multiple facets to characterize each contact in relation to the user. It then employs a personalized, faceted search to retrieve and present a ranked list of matched contacts based on their properties. A preliminary evaluation shows the effectiveness of our approach.
