Scope
======

The fields of Data Mining and Marketing have independently produced a rich and interesting set of methodologies that address a variety of marketing challenges. These include modeling consumers’ behaviors, preferences, and specific purchase intent. While much research in marketing and data mining has been motivated by shared problems, researchers in these disciplines seldom build on each others’ works or collaborate to advance the state of the art. This is due in part to the lack of shared forums and differences in research paradigms which evolved in each discipline over time.

The objective of this workshop is to open a window to current work in each of these disciplines, and to accommodate a nurturing environment that will trigger the development of novel ideas and fruitful collaborations. Similar to the objectives of the “International Workshop on Customer Relationship Management: Data Mining Meets Marketing“ held at the Stern School of Business in 2005, we also believe that such interactions are beneficial to both communities; the scope of this workshop, however, is not limited to CRM, and includes methodologies that address all marketing problems.

We invite researchers from information systems, marketing, computer science, and statistics to present methodological contributions in data-driven analytics that were either directly motivated by or which have applications to interesting marketing problems.

This will be a two-day workshop and will include several invited talks, research paper presentations, posters, and a panel discussion. In addition to researchers from marketing, information systems, computer science, and statistics, we welcome practitioners to share interesting insights on unresolved challenges that the research community can address.
