Discovery Challenge

This year's discovery challenge presents two tasks for the social bookmark and publication sharing system BibSonomy. One task covers spam detection and the other covers tag recommendations. The presentation of the results will take place at the ECML PKDD workshop where the top teams are invited to present their approaches and results. More information can be found on the Discovery Challenge website.

We are very happy to announce that 521 papers are entering the review process. In the next few weeks, with the help of an excellent team of area chairs and program committee members, we will select those papers that will be allowed to be presented at the conference and be published in the conference proceedings or in the Machine Learning Journal or in the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Journal.
