Kaggle is a data science competition platform and online community for data scientists and machine learning practitioners under Google LLC.Kaggle enables users to find and publish datasets, explore and build models in a web-based data science environment, work with other data scientists and machine learning engineers, and enter competitions to solve data science challenges.
Research has been completed on how competition can improve research performance. Companies like JPMorgan Chase also run internal contests involving large numbers of employees. [2] Examples of data science competition platforms include Bitgrit, [3] Correlation One, Kaggle, InnoCentive, Microprediction, [4] AIcrowd, [5] and Alibaba Tianchi. [6]
The M2-Competition was organized in collaboration with four companies and included six macroeconomic series, and was conducted on a real-time basis. Data was from the United States. [1] The results of the competition were published in a 1993 paper. [6] The results were claimed to be statistically identical to those of the M-Competition. [1]

The word "data" was first used to mean "transmissible and storable computer information" in 1946. The expression "data processing" was first used in 1954. [6]
Data analysis focuses on the process of examining past data through business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling and evaluation, and deployment. [8] It is a subset of data analytics, which takes multiple data analysis processes to focus on why an event happened and what may happen in the future based on the previous data.
Data-driven models encompass a wide range of techniques and methodologies that aim to intelligently process and analyse large datasets. Examples include fuzzy logic, fuzzy and rough sets for handling uncertainty, [3] neural networks for approximating functions, [4] global optimization and evolutionary computing, [5] statistical learning theory, [6] and Bayesian methods.
