KDD 2020 Opens Call for Papers

Data Science 101

This weeks guest post comes from KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining). Every year they host an excellent and influential conference focusing on many areas of data science. Honestly, KDD has been promoting data science way before data science was even cool. 1989 to be exact.

Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern. Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). You might be wondering what benefit you can get out of these techniques?

Experiment design and modeling for long-term studies in ads

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Recently, we presented some basic insights from our effort to measure and predict long-term effects at KDD 2015 [1]. This work has also resulted in advances for item #1, as it helped us define more useful objectives for A/B tests in Search Ads which include long-term impact of experimental treatments.

Density-Based Clustering

Domino Data Lab

Due to its importance in both theory and applications, this algorithm is one of three algorithms awarded the Test of Time Award at the KDD conference in 2014. Rather it infers the number of clusters based on the data, and it can discover clusters of arbitrary shape (for comparison, k-means usually discovers spherical clusters).
