 “The world’s brightest physicists
 have been working for decades on
 solving one of the great unifying
 problems of our universe”




 “In less than a week, Martin
 O’Leary, a PhD student in
 glaciology, outperformed
 the state-of-the-art algorithms”

EXAMPLE ESSAY QUESTION —

We all understand the benefits of laughter. For
example, someone once said, “Laughter is the
shortest distance between two people.”

Many other people believe that laughter is an
important part of any relationship. Tell a true story in
which laughter was one element or part.
“Have you ever experienced a time
                            with your friends or family where you
                            laughed so hard your stomach hurt,
                            and your eyes were filled with tears?
                            Laughing is something every person
                            needs.

Automated results by
                            A great laugh can make a persons day
the winning algorithm are
                            and put a smile on their face. If no one
as reliable as manual
                            laughed the world would be a terribly
assessment by teachers.     sad place. My friends and I are always
                            laughing, to the point where were
                            rolling on the ground, clutching our
                            stomachs laughing.”

Notas do Editor

  1. How does data science differ from econometrics
  2. Companies post their problem, their data and a prize, and our 38,000 data scientists compete to product the best solution.
  3. Players’ algorithms are back-tested in real time, so we can show how people are performing on a live leaderboard. The live leaderboard accounts for a large part of Kaggle’s success, as people are motivated to outperform each other (which is catalyzes better performance than individuals developing a model in isolation).
  4. From many different (maths-related disciplines)
  5. Users have the option to tell us their favourite techniques
  6. Outbound Within 1 min Within 5 min Overall 62.1 87.9 Peak hour 12.8 57.4 PH next hour 14.8 63.0 Inbound predictions tend to be far more accurate. 34.5 per cent of inbound peak-hour predictions made one hour ahead are correct within one minute. Inbound Within 1 min Within 5 min Overall 69.3 92.1 Peak hour 37.8 77.8 PH next hour 34.5 79.3
  7. 6000 molecules (anonymized) 1700 structural descriptors Objective of prediction: Biological Response (mutagenicity) Indicated as 1/0 Many other biological responses can be modeled using the same approach Exceeded expectations within 2 weeks Extensible to other compound properties: mutagenicity, hepatotoxicity, solubility, PK/PD etc.
  8. Could predict whether a used car would be a lemon with approximately 47% accuracy.
