UBDM 2006: Utility-Based Data Mining 2006 workshop report

In this report we provide a summary of the Second International Workshop on Utility-Based Data Mining (UBDM-06) held in conjunction with the 12^th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. The workshop was held on August 20, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA, USA. As was the case for the first UBDM workshop, this workshop brought together researchers who currently investigate how to incorporate economic utility aspects into the data mining process and practitioners who have real-world experience with how these factors influence data mining applications.
