A pair of posts from Ryan Rosario on the SIGKDD 2011 Conference.
Day 1 (Graph Mining and David Blei/Topic Models)
Tough sledding on Probabilistic Topic Models but definitely worth the effort to follow.
Useful summaries and pointers to many additional resources.
If you attended SIGKDD 2011, do you have pointers to other reviews of the conference or other resources?
I added a category for SIGKDD.
