Tracks
| Track | Note |
|---|---|
| Research | Core methods track |
| Applied Data Science (ADS) | Deployed-system papers; the production half |
| Datasets and Benchmarks | Artifact-first track |
| AI for Sciences | Domain-science applications |
| Blue Sky Ideas | Position/speculative papers |
| Workshops · Tutorials | Peripheral program |
| Undergraduate Consortium · Ph.D. Consortium | Mentoring tracks |
The two tracks worth watching from here are Datasets and Benchmarks and Applied Data Science: both are where evaluation methodology gets argued in public rather than assumed. KDD also runs artifact badging — one of the few ACM venues where reproducibility has a formal apparatus, which is the relevant precedent for the verification-ledger work here.
