FeaturesFrom: Jian PeiSubject: KDD-08 Call for Papers (due Feb 23), Workshops, Panels, Tutorials
The Fourteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-08)
August 24 - 27, 2008
###### Please Take Note of the REPEATABILITY Guideline ###### The annual ACM SIGKDD conference is the premier international forum for data mining researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to share their ideas, research results and experiences. KDD-08 will feature keynote presentations, oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, tutorials, panels, exhibits, demonstrations, and the KDD Cup competition. We invite submissions on all aspects of knowledge discovery and data mining overlapping with topics from machine learning, statistics, databases, and pattern recognition. Papers are expected to describe innovative ideas and solutions that are rigorously evaluated and well-presented. Submissions that describe minor variations of existing methods or only make small or questionable improvements to existing algorithms are discouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
As the SIGKDD conference enters its fourteenth year of existence, we need to take steps to ensure the long term viability of the research output of this community. A basic requirement is to enable the careful scrutiny and repeatability of evaluation results reported in a paper. Experimental results in submitted papers should be accompanied with all relevant implementation details and exact parameter specifications. Reviewers will be encouraged to downgrade ratings of papers that do not meet this guideline. Datasets used in the experiments should be made publicly available, whenever possible. When you must use proprietary datasets, please make every effort to supplement your results with those from closely matching synthetic datasets or other public datasets. Detailed submission instructions are available on the conference submission website. All submissions will be handled electronically.
