On-line, interconnected systems offer unprecedented opportunities for
discovery and learning from the wealth of accompanying data.
Extracting useful knowledge from such data is becoming more difficult,
as volume and complexity push traditional techniques beyond their
limits. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) techniques automate
the process of extracting knowledge from data. The annual ACM SIGKDD
conference brings together researchers and practitioners focusing on
new developments and challenges in KDD brought about by this data
explosion.
Suggested Paper Topics include (but are not limited to):
Methods and Algorithms: data mining, web mining, text mining, mining
time-series data, mining mixed-type data, mining high-dimensional
data, incorporating domain knowledge, open-ended discovery, scalable
algorithms, statistical methods, unconventional knowledge
representations.
The KDD Process: process modeling, process automation, data cleaning,
human involvement, visualization, interactive exploration,
interestingness, evaluating knowledge and discoveries.
Integrated Systems: embedded KDD techniques, unification of mining
with database architectures, integration of data
mining/warehousing/OLAP, exploration and discovery systems.
Applications and Experiences: e-commerce, privacy issues,
personalization, activity monitoring, scientific applications,
benchmarks, new application areas, tools, commercial successes or
failures.
Paper Submission
Papers should describe original work that has not appeared and is not
under review elsewhere (specialized workshops excluded). Both basic
and applied research papers are solicited, as well as papers
describing applications making significant research
contributions. Paper length should be a maximum of 20 pages, using
12pt. font, 1.5 line spacing, and 1in. margins. We strongly encourage
electronic submission of papers. An electronic abstract of at most
250 words must be submitted by Feb 26, 2001.
See http://www.acm.org/sigkdd/kdd2001/IT/FAQ.html for guidance on
whether to submit a paper to the research or industrial track.
