Ten Years of Wisdom

Abstract

In this keynote we attempt to cover the first ten years of ACM WSDM, the main conference on web search and data mining. We start from its inception during 2006 to the first conference held at Stanford in 2008, driven by some key people in the main web search engines of that time. We were confident on its success, but we never expected to become so fast the best venue for our research topics. We also cover the main highlights during all these years as well as current and future trends.
