KDD Cup 2000 will be the Fourth International Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Tools Competition, held in conjunction with KDD-2000 The Sixth International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.

This year's domain contains clickstream and purchase data from Gazelle.com, a legwear and legcare web retailer. You are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to receive a password to access the data. The top three winners will be expected to give a short talk at KDD 2000.

We will have two question periods during the competition (the first runs from 5/20-5/30). During these question periods, you may ask technical questions or business questions, similar to a real-life interaction with a real client.

The data will become available as of 5/20. It is critical that you sign the NDA as soon as possible in order to utilize the first question period.
