Matteo's Wasps' Nest

In the end, it happened: my paper “Mining Top-K Frequent Itemsets Through Progressive Sampling” (written together with Andrea Pietracaprina, Eli Upfal, and Fabio Vandin, you can find it on arXiv) is going to be published! We submitted it to ECML-PKDD 2010 and it got accepted for presentation at the conference and for publication in the special issue of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, a very well known journal published by Springer. Out of the 670 submissions, 120 paper were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings (18% acceptance rate), but only 14 were accepted for the special issues of two Springer journals, the aforementioned DM Journal and Machine Learning.

I’m really happy. Thanks to everyone that supported me in the long period I spent working on this paper.
