wsdm-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project belongs at WSDM or a neighbor - tests for the web/social-data core and the practical-yet-principled bar, scope coverage from web search and recommendation to social networks and responsible web AI, routing against SIGIR, KDD, WWW, CIKM, RecSys, and ICWSM, and long-versus-short-track fit.

When to use

• deciding if a project is WSDM-shaped
• testing the web or social-web data gate
• testing the practical yet principled gate
• checking 2026 CFP scope coverage
• routing against SIGIR, KDD, WWW, CIKM, RecSys, and ICWSM
• assessing long-versus-short-track fit
• evaluating foundation-model-era fit through the web lens

When not to use

• formatting a page
• tabular-ML, vision, and generic NLP work
• principled-only theory toward theory-friendly venues
• practical-only system reports toward industry tracks
• core IR theory without web-mining angle
• general-purpose mining/ML method with incidental web data
• web systems, standards, platform measurement, web economics
