Data mining jobs in Europe

KDnuggets is certainly the best place to find a data mining job in US. Several opportunities are often updated. In addition, external links are given to find data mining jobs using other websites. But what about jobs in Europe? To my knowledge, there is no website specialized on data mining jobs in Europe. Of course, websites such as DataShaping can be used, since they contain such offers. However, it seems US is better covered than Europe through, for example, KDnuggets.

Thus, I have an open question to Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro: Why is there no job offers covering Europe on KDnuggets? It would be interesting to know the percentage of European vs. US readers of KDnuggets. If this percentage is not too small, it may be meaningful to propose job offers in Europe. However, the problem is perhaps that no companies send email to KDnuggets concerning job offers in Europe. This post is an open discussion to the above mentioned issue, and you are all invited to give your opinion.

10 years of data mining

In a recent paper in the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Journal, Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro has an interesting paper about recent tendency in data mining. He wrote a survey based on the point of view of KDnuggets, a must-known company sharing news and more for the data mining community. Below is the abstract of his paper:

I survey the transformation of the data mining and knowledge discovery field over the last 10 years from the unique vantage point of KDnuggets as a leading chronicler of the field. Analysis of the most frequent words in KDnuggets News leads to revealing observations.

In this paper, Gregory points out the main transformations that have affected the domain. He provides several application domains where data mining has succeeded, as well as successful methods such as Support Vector Machines (SVM). After some text mining on KDnuggets news, Gregory draws a few conclusions. The main one is a move of data mining from university to business. The greatest demand for data miners is from business analytics, according to his study.

I think that the paper is only accessible if you have access to the journal content.

KDnuggets

KDnuggets is, as far as I know, the most complete website about data mining and knowledge discovery. Indeed, KDnuggets, which is directed by Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, is more than just a website. It contains useful resources such as:

• A complete newsletter regrouping information for both researchers and practitioners (two times by month)
  
• Softwares for data mining
  
• List of datasets for testing your own data mining algorithms
  
• Information about conferences, lectures, blogs, etc.
  

If you read this blog, it means you are somehow interested in data mining (I hope!). Therefore, you should really be interested by KDnuggets in order to have access to a huge amount of useful information related to data mining.
