Kaggle is a community of almost a million data scientists, who have built more than two million machine-learning models while participating in Kaggle competitions. Data scientists come to Kaggle to learn, collaborate, and develop the state of the art in machine learning. Anthony Goldbloom shares lessons learned from top performers in the Kaggle community and explores the types of machine-learning techniques typically used, some of the tricks he’s seen, and pitfalls to avoid. Along the way, Anthony discusses work habits and skills that help data scientists succeed.
Anthony Goldbloom is cofounder and CEO of Kaggle. In 2011 and 2012, Forbes magazine named Anthony one of the 30 under 30 in technology, and in 2013, MIT Tech Review named him one of top 35 innovators under the age of 35. He was given the alumni of distinction award by the University of Melbourne, where he holds a first-call honors degree in econometrics. Anthony has been published in the Economist and Harvard Business Review.
