About

WSDM (pronounced “wisdom”) is a young ACM conference intended to be the publication venue for research in the areas of search and data mining. Indeed, the pace of innovation in these areas prevents proper coverage by conferences of broader scope. The high attendance at the first three WSDMs, held at Stanford University, Barcelona and Polytechnic Institute of New York University in February 2008, 2009 and 2010, has confirmed community interest in a more focused venue.
