WSDM (pronounced “wisdom”) is one of the premier conferences on web-inspired research involving search and data mining. The 15th ACM International WSDM Conference will take place in Arizona, USA, in early March 2022.

WSDM is a highly selective conference that includes refereed full papers as well as invited talks. WSDM publishes original, high-quality papers related to search and data mining on the Web and the Social Web, with an emphasis on practical yet principled approaches.

Original papers emphasizing novel algorithmic approaches are particularly encouraged. Application-oriented papers that make innovative technical contributions to research are welcome. Visionary papers on new and emerging topics are particularly encouraged.

Authors are explicitly discouraged from submitting papers that do not clearly present their contribution with respect to previous works, that contain only incremental results, and that do not provide significant advances over existing approaches.
