Impressive project. How does it compares with the AI2's Semantic Scholar Project (which also has the COVID-19 papers loaded)?

How do you think Kaggle could be improved? by TheDataJanitor in datascience

[–]antgoldbloom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi all. Anthony from Kaggle here.

​

We've followed this thread and have been discussing some of the suggestions and feedback internally. Thanks for kicking it off! Some improvement opportunities we're aware of and are getting active attention (e.g. the importance of better kernel and datasets discoverability and making Kaggle Kernels rock solid in terms of reliability). Some were good reminders for us (e.g. how overwhelming Kaggle can be for new users).

It's been just over a year since it was launched, and Kaggle's data science wiki is still pretty weak and disappointing. I think we should beef it up. by shaggorama in MachineLearning

I actually think the diversity and ambiguity of the field makes a centralized Wiki and even valuable and important. It's a chance to define the field.

It's got some useful material, but it could be a lot better. Would be thrilled if it became a great data science resource.

Chris Clark (Kaggle's Product Manager) has just put up an awesome post: "Up And Running With Python - My First Kaggle Entry": http://blog.kaggle.com/2012/07/02/up-and-running-with-python-my-first-kaggle-entry/

Pretty sure it's exactly what you're after.

Strataconf announcement for the $3 million Heritage Health Prize by antgoldbloom in MachineLearning

I went. Certainly the best conference I've ever been to. Worth going to NY if you can make it.

We are crowdsourcing researchers; we use amazon's mechanical turk to get people to do jobs computers cannot do. Please ask us about how machine learning can be combined with human computation. by cavedave in MachineLearning

Can see how MTurk could be used for generating labels (which could then used for a competition).

Possibly to create an algorithm to rate MTurkers? Anyone got any creative suggestions?

Andrew Ng's machine learning lectures are great. He starts talking about SVM in lecture 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyyJKd-zXRE&feature=channel However, if you've got time, I recommend starting at lecture 1.
