WebKDD 2006: web mining and web usage analysis post-workshop report

Abstract

In this report, we summarize the contents and outcomes of the recent WebKDD 2006 workshop on Web Mining and Web Usage Analysis that was held in conjunction with the 12th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2006), August 20-23, 2006, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2006, WebKDD was organized for the eighth time. It solicited papers on the broad overview subject "Knowledge Discovery on the Web" and on new directions for Web mining research. We reflect on the results of the workshop, as captured in presentations and plenary discussions.
