05 Machine Learning: Use Cases Part 2

We continue exploring publicly available datasets to better understand Machine Learning use cases and its applications. This time we explore Kaggle which is the world’s largest data science community. Unlike UCI ML repository, which is more of an archive and geared towards an academic community, Kaggle has datasets that capture the latest trends in Machine Learning and hosts competitions sponsored by big companies where data scientists can participate and win big prizes.

07 COVID-19

We talk about how Data Science and Machine Learning can help us better understand COVID-19 challenges. In this episode, we go back to the Kaggle website where different institutions, including the White House, have come together to try to analyze more than 45,000 published articles. The task is about answering 10 different questions which will help scientist around the world better understand this new virus and future pandemics.
