SIGKDD
SIGKDD is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. It became an official ACM SIG in 1998. The official web page of SIGKDD can be found on www.KDD.org.
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 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., and KDD-2014 will take place in New York City, USA., August 24–27, 2014. Here is a full list of past KDD meetings.[4]
KDD-Cup
SIGKDD sponsors the KDD Cup competition every year in conjunction with the annual conference. It is aimed at members of the industry and academia, particularly students, interested in KDD.
