Tanya Berger-Wolf: Agree with Lei. In general, it would be good to use the social networking aspects of the service more: keep and use the network from year to year (even augment fro LinkedIn if the user agrees), suggest talks and contacts, use RFIDs or other tags duri... [read more]

Suresh Venkatasubramanian: I like the idea of RFID tags. There's even a simpler version of this though: on each attendee's badge, print a QR code that smartphones can read, that would link the attendee to their crowdvine profile. Google already does this for their recruiter bu... [read more]

Lei Tang: Another feature I found missing is the notification of new comments for people involved in the same thread. I believe a notification would keep people interested in the thread get updated and hopefully keep the discussion alive.

Overall the conference seemed to be a huge success. Many thanks to the organizers. My only critique: as a rule, there was not enough time allotted to ask questions to the speakers. Frequently the session moderator would request that everything be taken "off line" after a cursory response to the first question. There was rarely time for follow up and/or additional questions. Toward the end of the conference, the audience stopped asking questions a... [read more]

Tanya Berger-Wolf: Agree with Ronny. In general, I think session chairs should enforce the time limits better. This allows for better discussions and for people to switch sessions if they wish.

Do you know anything about KDD 2011? There's no info on the net. Where and when is it going to happen? Thanks for any hints.

Lei Tang: It will be held at San Diego on August 14-17 next year. Exact date and location subject to change :)

Just curious, where can we find photos taken at KDD? I think it would be great for those presenters. I checked photos at this social networking site, but it seems none of them is about KDD'10.

Is it possible to obtain a copy/video/notes on Konrad Feldman's (from Quantcast) talk?

Gabor Melli: All keynotes and most talks will be made available on videolectures.com as they were for KDD'09 http://videolectures.net/kdd09_paris/ It will likely take several weeks before they are published.

Huseyin Oktay: If still not found, they were mentioning found car keys in the opening ceremony which should be at the front desk.

Baojun Qiu: Hi Huseyin, Great. I appreciate that you left the message to let us know this. Have a good night!

His explanation is beautiful, easy to follow and intuitive.
