KDD 2025

KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining) is an annual international conference hosted by ACM SIGKDD (Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining). It is one of the top conferences in the field of data mining, providing an international forum for data mining researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government to exchange ideas, research results and experiences.

The KDD conference features a rich program of keynote speeches, oral paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials, symposiums, exhibitions, demonstrations, and the famous KDD Cup, an international data analysis and mining competition that attracts many data scientists and researchers from around the world.

The acceptance rate of papers at KDD conferences is usually low, which reflects the high requirements of the conference for paper quality. For example, at the KDD 2021 conference, a total of 1,541 valid submissions were received, 238 papers were accepted, and the acceptance rate was only 15.4%, and 3 best paper awards were awarded, with a ratio of 0.2%.

In addition, the KDD conference also awards a variety of awards, such as the KDD Innovation Award, the Test of Time Research Award, the Test of Time Applied Science Award, etc., to recognize researchers who have made outstanding contributions in the field of data mining. The conference not only promotes the development of data mining technology, but also promotes academic exchanges and cooperation in related fields.
