## A Survey of Subgraph Optimization for Collaborative Team Formation: Objectives, Techniques, and Critics
2-
The search for gathering a team of experts who are expected to collaboratively work towards accomplishing a given
3-
project successfully is referred to as Team Formation, a problem that has historically been solved in a variety of
4-
ways including manually in a time-consuming and bias-filled manner, and, algorithmically within such disciplines as
5-
social sciences, management, operations technology, and so forth. In the present effort, while providing a taxonomy to
6-
distinguish between search-based versus learning-based approaches, we survey the graph-based Team Formation studies
7-
from the search-based category, motivated as they comprise the mainstream. We present a unifying and vetted overview
8-
of the various definitions of the notions in this realm, scrutinize assumptions and benchmarks, and identify shortfalls.
9-
We start by drawing upon initial efforts and approaches to the problem of Team Formation to lay the conceptual
10-
foundations and set forth the necessary notions for a more grounded view of this realm. Next, with the help of a
11-
specifically designed set of notations, we provide a detailed view of the graph-based Team Formation approaches based
12-
on the objective functions they aim to optimize. In doing so, we lay out who builds on whom and how algorithms have
13-
evolved to solve previous works’ drawbacks. Additionally, we categorize different evaluation schemes and elaborate on
14-
different metrics and the insights that can be drawn from each. Referring to the evaluation schemas and metrics, we
15-
compare different works and propose future directions.

Expert Team Formation is the search for gathering a team of experts who are expected to collaboratively work towards accomplishing a given project, a problem that has historically been solved in a variety of ways, including manually in a time-consuming and bias-filled manner, and algorithmically within disciplines like social sciences and management. In the present effort, while providing a taxonomy to distinguish between search-based versus learning-based approaches, we survey graph-based studies from the search-based category, motivated as they comprise the mainstream. We present a unifying and vetted overview of the various definitions in this realm, scrutinize assumptions, and identify shortfalls. We start by reviewing initial approaches to the Expert Team Formation problem to lay the conceptual foundations and set forth the necessary notions for a more grounded view of this realm.

We lay out who builds on whom and how algorithms have evolved to solve the drawbacks of previous works. Further, we categorize evaluation schemas and elaborate on metrics and insights that can be drawn from each.

Our survey brings forth a unifying and vetted methodology to the various definitions of the notions in this realm, criticizes assumptions and comparative benchmarks,
185
and points out shortfalls to smooth the path for future research directions.
