From October 24 to 28, I attended the 20th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM), in Glasgow, UK. The conference had a number of good papers in a wide range of topics, including information retrieval, social network analysis and machine learning. The conference also had two keynote speakers that talked about, respectively, improving user interfaces for better management of information, and addressing the challenges that persist in search, storage and analysis of biomedicine data.

I attended the "18th International Workshop on Personalization and Recommendation on the Web and Beyond" from 4th-6th October 2010.

There're four several special interest groups (SIGs) in LWA workshop:

1.FG-ABIS (Adaptively and User Modeling in Interactive Software Systems)

2.FG-IR (Information Retrieval)

3.FG-KDML (Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining and Machine Learning)

4.FG-WM (Knowledge Management)

From 9 to 11 of August I attended the ASONAM 2010 conference in Odense. The city, located in the Funen Island, is the third largest in Denmark and houses the H. C. Andersen Museum, next to place he was allegedly born. As for the conference, for three days it covered topics in social networks analysis and mining, with particular emphasis to the detection of communities and groups, and issues with security and terrorism networks.
