                             This workshop discusses three topics: 
                              1. Data mining on the web: Facts and fiction  
                              2. Experiments in e-business: Practice and promise 
                              3. Relevance in search and behavioural targeting: 
                              Markets and monetization 
                              The common thread across these three topics is the 
                              focus on understanding user behaviour, e.g., stated 
                              vs revealed preferences, and on leveraging the insights. 
                              There will be time to discuss questions from the 
                              audience. Specific requests for topics can be emailed 
                              beforehand to the workshop organizer (see www.weigend.com)
