WebKDD 2008: 10 years of knowledge discovery on the web post-workshop report

ABSTRACT

WebKDD was held in conjunction with the 14th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2008), August 24, 2008, in Henderson/Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2008, WebKDD was held for the tenth time. We report on the contents and outcomes of this anniversary workshop and include a small retrospection on 10 years of knowledge discovery on the Web.
