- adoption of "standards" in the market in terms of terminology, evaluation, methodology
- interdisciplinary education among KDD researchers, practitioners, and users
SIGKDD activities include the annual Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining and the SIGKDD Explorations Newsletter. You can also read about the charter, organization, or the annual SIGKDD awards using the navigation bar on the left.
