WSDM (pronounced "wisdom") is one of the premier conferences on web-inspired research involving search and data mining. WSDM is a highly selective conference that includes invited talks, as well as refereed full papers. WSDM publishes original, high-quality papers related to search and data mining on the Web and the Social Web, with an emphasis on practical yet principled novel models of search and data mining, algorithm design and analysis, economic implications, and in-depth experimental analysis of accuracy and performance. The conference is now moved to a completely virtual format. This difficult decision is made in light of the latest surge in Omicron cases, enhanced travel restrictions from various parts of the world, and companies scrapping office-return deadlines without setting a new date.

Conference program includes 7 workshops <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/wsdm-workshops/>, 7 tutorials <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/accepted-tutorials/>, 9 doctoral consortium presentations <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/accepted-doctoral-consortium-papers/>, 14 technical demos <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/accepted-demos/>, 160 research paper presentations <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/accepted-papers/>, industry day presentations <https://www.wsdm-conference.org/2022/industry-day-schedule/>, smart city day presentations, and 3 exciting keynote talks on timely topics:
