This book is showcases recent advances in knowledge discovery enhanced with semantic and social information. It includes eight chapters that grew out of joint workshops at ECML/PKDD 2007. The contributions emphasize the vision of the Web as a social medium.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third Annual Privacy Forum, APF 2015, held in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, in October 2015. The 11 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The topics focus on privacy by design (PbD), i.e. the attempt to combine technical and organizational measures to ensure the basic rights of the individual. The papers are organized in three sessions: measuring privacy; rules and principles; legal and economic perspectives on privacy.

In the last years, research on Web mining has reached maturity and has broadened in scope. Two different but interrelated research threads have emerged, based on the dual nature of the Web: – The Web is a practically in?nite collection of documents: The acquisition and - ploitation of information from these documents asks for intelligent techniques for information categorization, extraction and search, as well as for adaptivity to the interests and background of the organization or person that looks for information. – The Web is a venue for doing business electronically: It is a venue for interaction, information acquisition and service exploitation used by public authorities, n- governmental organizations, communities of interest and private persons. When observed as a venue for the achievement of business goals, a Web presence should be aligned to the objectives of its owner and the requirements of its users. This raises the demand for understandingWeb usage, combining it with other sources of knowledge inside an organization, and deriving lines of action.

The three volume set LNAI 9851, LNAI 9852, and LNAI 9853 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery in Databases, ECML PKDD 2016, held in Riva del Garda, Italy, in September 2016. The 123 full papers and 16 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 460 submissions. The papers presented focus on practical and real-world studies of machine learning, knowledge discovery, data mining; innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use machine learning techniques and knowledge discovery processes in a real setting; recent advances at the frontier of machine learning and data mining with other disciplines. Part I and Part II of the proceedings contain the full papers of the contributions presented in the scientific track and abstracts of the scientific plenary talks. Part III contains the full papers of the contributions presented in the industrial track, short papers describing demonstration, the nectar papers, and the abstracts of the industrial plenary talks.

Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery in Databases

This book originates from the first European Web Mining Forum, EWMF 2003, held in Cavtat-Dubrovnik, Croatia, in September 2003 in association with ECML/PKDD 2003. The Web Mining Forum initiative is motivated by the insight that knowledge discovery on the Web, from the viewpoint of hyperarchive analysis, and, from the viewpoint of interaction among persons and institutions, are complementary, both for the conventional Web and for the Semantic Web. This book presents an introductory roadmap paper, four invited papers and six workshop papers, which were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Among the topics addressed are Web usage mining, Web mining for the addition of semantics, semantically enhanced Web filtering, ontologies, wrapper induction, Web personalization, user profiling, user session evaluation, and evolution of Web usage patterns.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Workshop on Web Mining, WebMine 2006, held in Berlin, Germany, September 2006. Topics included are data mining based on analysis of bloggers and tagging, web mining, XML mining and further techniques of knowledge discovery. The book is especially valuable for those interested in the aspects of Web 2.0 and its inherent dynamic and diversity of user-generated content.
