About SIGKDD

The primary focus of the SIGKDD is to provide the premier forum for advancement and adoption of the "science" of knowledge discovery and data mining. -- SIGKDD Website

Created in 1998, SIGKDD promotes research with applications in how large data sets are managed and interpreted. As more and more data is amassed in venues ranging from academia to business, it is necessary to figure out a way to deal with large amounts of data. [Source: SIGKDD Charter]
