icdm-related-work
Use when positioning an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) paper's related work - lineage against prior ICDM editions and IEEE data-mining neighbors, the mechanism-contrast novelty sentence, avoiding KDD/SDM/CIKM/WSDM venue misattribution, and citing your own prior work in the third person so the section stays triple-blind-safe.

# ICDM Related Work Position the paper against the data-mining literature the way an ICDM reviewer reads it: by **mechanism and mining task**, not by benchmark leaderboard. The section has two ICDM constraints — it must contrast your *mechanism* with prior mechanisms, and it must do so without breaking the Research Track's triple-blind anonymity or misattributing sibling-venue work to ICDM. ## Position by mechanism, not by results table - For each closely related method, state what mechanism it uses and the specific thing your mechanism changes: the isolation criterion, the sparsity structure, the walk kernel, the sketch, the update rule. "We also do anomaly detection" is not positioning. - Group prior work by the mining primitive it shares with you, so the reader sees the lineage your contribution extends or breaks. - End the closest-competitor paragraph with a **one-sentence mechanism-contrast**: "Unlike [X], which stores the full graph to compute isolation depth, our sketch estimates it in one pass with a stated error." That sentence is the novelty claim reviewers quote. ## Cite the ICDM lineage where it exists ICDM has durable research lines you can anchor to — random walks wit

What does the icdm-related-work skill do?
Use when positioning an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) paper's related work - lineage against prior ICDM editions and IEEE data-mining neighbors, the mechanism-contrast novelty sentence, avoiding KDD/SDM/CIKM/WSDM venue misattribution, and citing your own prior work in the third person so the section stays triple-blind-safe.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill icdm-related-work --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
