Data mining for business applications: KDD-2006 workshop

ABSTRACT

Even though data mining has been successful in becoming a major component of various business processes as well as in transferring innovations from academic research into the business world, the gap between the problems that the research community works on and real-world ones is still significant. We believe that it is essential for the business and the academic research communities to interact frequently. The goal of the KDD-2006 Workshop on Data Mining for Business Applications was to gather both researchers and business practitioners and talk about their different perspectives and to share their latest problems and idea. We wanted to not only bring them together at KDD but also to create relationships that would continue and grow after the event as well.
