Our paper "Leakage in Data Mining: Formulation, Detection, and Avoidance" got the best research paper award.

The KDD Cup 2009 offers the opportunity to work on large marketing databases from the French Telecom company Orange to predict the propensity of customers to switch provider (churn), buy new products or services (appetency), or buy upgrades or add-ons proposed to them to make the sale more profitable (up-selling).
The challenge is to beat the in-house system developed by Orange Labs. It is an opportunity to prove that you can deal with a very large database, including heterogeneous noisy… Show more

The KDD Cup 2009 offers the opportunity to work on large marketing databases from the French Telecom company Orange to predict the propensity of customers to switch provider (churn), buy new products or services (appetency), or buy upgrades or add-ons proposed to them to make the sale more profitable (up-selling).
The challenge is to beat the in-house system developed by Orange Labs. It is an opportunity to prove that you can deal with a very large database, including heterogeneous noisy data (numerical and categorical variables), and unbalanced class distributions. Time efficiency is often a crucial point. Therefore part of the competition will be time-constrained to test the ability of the participants to deliver solutions quickly.

Identifying Pneumonia Patients

The KDD Cup 2008 challenge focuses on the problem of early detection of breast cancer from X-ray images of the breast based on data provided by Siemens Medical. In a screening population, a small fraction of cancerous patients have more than one malignant lesion. To simplify the problem, we only consider one type of cancer - cancerous masses - and only include cancer patients with at most one cancerous mass per patient. The challenge consists of two parts, each of which is related to the… Show more

To simplify the problem, we only consider one type of cancer - cancerous masses - and only include cancer patients with at most one cancerous mass per patient. The challenge consists of two parts, each of which is related to the development of algorithms for Computer Aided Detection (CAD) of early stage breast cancer from X-ray images.

Genetic classification of the Yeast Genome

This year's competition focuses on problems motivated by network mining and the analysis of usage logs. Complex networks have emerged as a central theme in data mining applications, appearing in domains that range from communication networks and the Web, to biological interaction networks, to social networks and homeland security. At the same time, the difficulty in obtaining complete and accurate representations of large networks has been an obstacle to research in this area.

The first task involves predicting the future; contestants predict how many citations each paper will receive during the three months leading up to the KDD 2003 conference.
