Abstract

This paper discusses three issues in organizing a successful knowledge discovery contest based on our experience with KDD Challenge 2000. KDD Challenge 2000 has been a success with its three unique features: four preliminary contests, four data sets, and two program committees. Based on this experience, we consider that three issues: clear motivations of a contest, supports for domain experts, and promotion for participants, are mandatory for a successful organization of a knowledge discovery contest.
