KDD 2018 Call for Research Papers
=====================================
***********
Key dates
***********
Submission: February 11, 2018
Notification: May 06, 2018
Camera-ready: May 25, 2018
(All deadlines are at 11:59PM Pacific Time)
Note: There will be absolutely no exception to these deadlines.
Description
We invite submission of papers describing innovative research on all aspects of
knowledge discovery and data mining, ranging from
theoretical foundations to novel models and algorithms for data mining problems
in science, business, medicine, and engineering.
Visionary papers on new and emerging topics are also welcome, as are
application-oriented papers that make innovative technical
contributions to research. Authors are explicitly discouraged from submitting
incremental results that do not provide major advances
over existing approaches.
*******************************************************
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
*******************************************************
- Big Data: Large-scale systems for text and graph analysis,
machine learning, optimization, parallel and distributed data
mining (cloud, map-reduce), novel algorithmic and statistical
techniques for big data.
- Data Science: Methods for analyzing scientific and business data,
social networks, time series; mining sequences, streams, text,
web, graphs, rules, patterns, logs data, spatio-temporal data,
biological data; recommender systems, computational
advertising, multimedia, finance, bioinformatics.
- Foundations: Models and algorithms, asymptotic analysis; model
selection, dimensionality reduction, relational/structured
learning, matrix and tensor methods, probabilistic and
statistical methods; deep learning; manifold learning,
classification, clustering, regression, semi-supervised and
unsupervised learning; personalization, security and privacy,
visualization.
***********************
Submission directions
***********************
KDD is a dual track conference hosting both a Research track and
an Applied Data Science track. Due to the large number of
submissions, papers submitted to the Research track will not be
considered for publication in the Applied Data Science track and
vice versa. Authors are encouraged to read the track descriptions
carefully and to choose an appropriate track for their submissions.
Following KDD conference tradition, reviews are not double-blind,
and author names and affiliations should be listed.
Submissions are limited to a total of 9 (nine) pages, including all
content and references, and must be in PDF format and formatted
according to the new Standard ACM Conference Proceedings
Template.
LaTeX users, unzip acmart.zip, make, and use
sample-sigconf.tex as a template;
Additional information about formatting and style files is available
online at:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
Papers that do not meet the formatting requirements will be
rejected without review. Submitted papers will be assessed based
on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, insightfulness,
depth, clarity, and reproducibility.

*********************
Important policies
*********************
- Reproducibility
Submitted papers will be assessed based on their novelty,
technical quality, potential impact, insightfulness, depth, clarity, and
reproducibility. Authors are strongly encouraged to make their code
and data publicly available whenever possible. Algorithms and
resources used in a paper should be described as completely as
possible to allow reproducibility. This includes experimental
methodology, empirical evaluations, and results. The reproducibility
factor will play an important role in the assessment of each
submission.
Authorship
Every listed author must take responsibility for the entire content of
a paper. Note that changes to the author list after the submission
deadline is not allowed.
- Dual submissions
Submitted papers must describe work that is substantively different
from work that has already been published, or accepted for
publication, or submitted in parallel to other conferences or journals.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
1 Submission to KDD is permitted of a shorter version of a paper
that has been submitted to a journal, but has not yet been
published in that journal. Authors must declare such
dual-submissions on the submission form. Authors must
make sure that the journal in question allows dual concurrent
submissions to conferences.
2 Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented
at conferences or workshops without proceedings, or with
only abstracts published.
3 Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been
made available as a technical report or similar, in particular in
arXiv.
- Conflicts of interest
During the submission process, enter the email domains of all
institutions with which you have an institutional conflict of interest.
You have an institutional conflict of interest if you are currently
employed or have been employed at this institution in the past
three years, or you have extensively collaborated with this
institution within the past three years. Authors are also required to
identify all PC/SPC members with whom they have a conflict of
interest, e.g., advisor, student, colleague, or coauthor in the last
five years.
Attendance
For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the
conference and present the paper. Authors of all accepted papers
must prepare a final version for publication, a poster, and a
three-minute short video presentation (details will be in the
acceptance notification).
- Copyright
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings
by ACM and also appear in the ACM Digital Library. The rights
retained by authors who transfer copyright to ACM can be found at
http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright_policy#Retaine
d. For accepted papers, the authors also agree that the papers will
also be made available to general public on the KDD website
immediately after the camera ready submission (June 9, 2018). If
you have an objection to your papers being posted on the KDD site
prior to the conference please send us an email at
[email protected].
