Kaggle is a platform for data science competitions that offers data scientists a community and a means to monetize their work. It was founded in 2010 by Australian data scientist Anthony Goldbloom and Ben Hamner, an engineer at Airbnb. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with additional offices in Washington D.C. and Bangalore, India. Kaggle provides a platform for running data science competitions, wherein data scientists compete to build the best predictive models for given datasets. The platform is home to millions of data scientists worldwide who use it to learn and hone their skills. Kaggle also facilitates collaboration between data scientists and provides a way for companies to tap into the expertise of the world’s brightest data scientists. The Kaggle community features an abundance of datasets for data analysis and visualization projects. The platform offers a suite of analytical tools, such as Jupyter Notebooks, which allow competitors to collaborate and share their work with the larger community. Kaggle also hosts a job board where companies can post job openings and data scientists can search for positions. In March of 2017, Kaggle was acquired by Google, and since then, the company has continued to function as an independent entity. Kaggle remains a critical resource for the data science community and continues to offer data science competitions, data sets, and educational resources free of charge.
