Conferences

SIGKDD has hosted an annual conference - ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) - since 1995. KDD Conferences grew from KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining) workshops at AAAI conferences, which were started by Gregory I. Piatetsky-Shapiro in 1989, 1991, and 1993, and Usama Fayyad in 1994.[1] Conference papers of each Proceedings of the SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining are published through ACM[2]

KDD-2012 took place in Beijing, China,[3] KDD-2013 took place in Chicago, USA., KDD-2014 was in New York City, USA., and The 21st ACM SIG-KDD conference was held in Sydney, Australia August 2015. Here is a full list of past KDD meetings.[4]

SIGKDD sponsors the KDD Cup[5] competition every year in conjunction with the annual conference. It is aimed at members of the industry and academia, particularly students, interested in KDD.

The group also annually recognizes members of the KDD community with its Innovation Award and Service Award.[6] Additionally, KDD presents a Best Paper Award[7] to recognize the highest quality paper at each conference.
