DM: KDD CUP 2000 - second question period starting 7/10/2000

• Organization: Blue Martini Software

The KDD Cup is a yearly competition in data mining open to everyone.
KDD Cup 2000 will be the Fourth International Knowledge Discovery and Data 
Mining Tools Competition, held in conjunction with KDD-2000 The Sixth 
International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.

This year's domain contains actual clickstream and purchase data from 
Gazelle.com, a legwear and legcare web retailer. You are required to sign a 
non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to receive a password to access the 
data.  The top
winners will be expected to give a short talk at KDD 2000.

To simulate a real environment (and to make the organizers' life 
manageable), we restricted questions to two question periods.  The second 
period starts this Monday, 7/10/2000.  Final submissions are due 7/17.
During these question periods, you may ask technical questions or business 
questions, similar to a real-life interaction with a real client.  Business 
users help answer the questions and judge the final results.

Note that the data may be used for research purposes after the competition 
provided that you get approval as specified in the NDA.

About a day after you fax the non-disclosure agreement and send us an 
e-mail as specified on the web page, you will get the username and password 
to access the data.
