The 50 Best Free Datasets for Machine Learning - Gengo AI What are some open datasets for machine learning? We at Gengo decided to create the ultimate cheat sheet for high quality datasets. These range from the vast (looking at you, Kaggle) or the highly specific (data for self-driving cars). First, a couple of pointers to keep in mind when searching for datasets. A dataset shouldn’t be messy, because you don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning data.A dataset shouldn’t have too many rows or columns, so it’s easy to work with.The cleaner the data, the better — cleaning a large data set can be very time consuming.There should be an interesting question that can be answered with the data. Let’s get to it! Dataset Finders Kaggle: A data science site that contains a variety of externally-contributed interesting datasets. UCI Machine Learning Repository: One of the oldest sources of datasets on the web, and a great first stop when looking for interesting datasets.

UNdata The Ordination Web Page The Psychology of Social Media: Why We Like, Comment, and Share Online What would happen if you were to “like” everything you saw on social media? The developer Rameet Chawla found out when he built a script that liked every photo that passed through his Instagram feed. He grew his followers by about 30 a dayHe got invited to more partiesHe got stopped on the street by people who recognized him from InstagramHe got message after message from friends encouraging him to post more. He said it was “almost like they were frustrated, like they were longing for something to like in return.” The likes, comments and posts we share on social media can often seem inconsequential, but they matter. What if we could understand the psychology of social media and use that knowledge to bring customers closer, give them more of what they want, and create better relationships? I had the supreme privilege of talking about just that topic at Mozcon, a super fun and crazy informative marketing conference put on by our friends at Moz.
