Best Data Science and Information Retrieval Conferences

This field of research code covers data mining, information retrieval, recommender systems and web data. KDD and SIGIR anchor it at A*, both with research-track acceptance around 20%, and WWW straddles this group and the systems list.

RecSys, WSDM and CIKM are the reliable A-tier destinations. Because these communities publish heavily and overlap with machine learning, checking the paper archive for topical fit is more informative here than in most fields.
