Comments on: Final Word on SIAM Data Mining 2007 http://www.daniel-lemire.com/blog/archives/2007/04/27/final-word-on-siam-data-mining-2007/ Daniel Lemire's blog is about life in academia, research in Computer Science, wondering how we can reconcile fast databases and algorithms with the informal and asemantic nature of the world around us. It is broadcasted from Montreal (Canada).

It might be due to the M in SIAM - Mathematics, although there are also the words "Industrial" and "Applied" over there. For a bystander (i've never been nor submitted to SIAM, yet), it seems that SIAM's accepted papers always contain more formulas than other DM conferences. not that there's something wrong about formalizing or writing things in a compact way... but it shouldn't be only about it (or +0,73% enhahncement in the algorithm's efficiency).
