The Conference Paper‐Reviewer Assignment Problem*
针对会议论文分配审稿人的问题，提出一种方法，确保每篇论文至少分配给一位尽可能专业的审稿人，核心部分建模为有容量转运问题的瓶颈版本。
Conference organizers often face the following problem: Given a collection of submitted papers, select a subset to be presented at the conference. The bulk of the work often amounts to assembling a pool of reviewers and then sending each submitted paper to several reviewers. We present in this paper a technique for finding a good assignment of papers to reviewers. An important feature of the solution we find is that each paper is sent to at least one reviewer who is “as expert as possible” for that paper. A major component of the problem is modeled as a bottleneck version of a capacitated transshipment problem.
