Netflix Prize: Forum

Aug 12, 2007 at the KDD-07 Conference, San Jose

The KDD Cup data mining competition is an integral part of the annual
ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining (KDD). This year, the traditional KDD Cup competition is
augmented with a workshop with a focus on the concurrently active
Netflix Prize competition.  The KDD Cup itself consists of a prediction
competition using Netflix movie rating data, with tasks that were
different and separate from those being used in the Netflix Prize
itself. At the workshop, participants in both the KDD Cup and the
Netflix Prize competition will present their results and algorithms, and
exchange ideas.

Highlights of the Workshop:

1. All four of the top teams on the leaderboard (as of mid-July, 2007)
of the Netflix Prize competition will present their techniques.

2. Winners of the KDD Cup competition will also present their algorithms and analyses.

Look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
