Abstract

Kaggle is the world's largest community of data scientists and machine learners, owned by Google Inc. Kaggle got its start by offering machine learning competitions and now also offers a public data platform, a cloud-based workbench for data science, and short form AI education. In the first part of this talk, I'm going to briefly introduce this platform and some caveats about data science competitions hosted on Kaggle. The second part of this talk will present a past competition where a variety of data--including fundamental and transactional information-- was used to predict potential customers' repayment abilities.
