  • QUOTE: Problem Studied: Company internal organizational chart is usually confidential to the public for the privacy and security reasons. In this paper, we want to infer the organizational chart of a company based on the heterogeneous information in online ESNs launched in the company, and the problem is formally named as the Inference of Organization Chart (IOC) problem.

    To help illustrate the IOC problem more clearly, we also give an example in Figure 1, where the left plot is about an online ESN adopted in a company and the right plot shows the company's organizational chart.
