Datasets Resources for Data Science Projects — Part 1
As Data Science Practitioner, most of us find difficulty in finding the right dataset for our projects, and lately, I’ve been getting a lot of messages from my followers, asking my guidance in helping them to find the best dataset for their project, so I gathered a few websites that offer a good amount of datasets
1- KDDCUP Archive
Link: https://kdd.ics.uci.edu/
KDDCup is an annual competition for data science practitioners, and I highly recommend that you pick your dataset from this site as it is in a raw format and most of the time it’s in a high volume, so they are perfect if you are doing Masters or PhD
You can also filter the dataset by their type ( text data for NLP projects — Images for Computer vision..etc)
2- Google Dataset Search
link: https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/
A free datasets search engine from Google that helps you find datasets, it contains over 25 million datasets
3- UCI Machine Learning Repository
link: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php
All the datasets were uploaded by the users and you can filter them by attribute and data type and area of expertise
4- OpenML
link: https://www.openml.org/
An online machine learning platform for sharing and organizing data with more than 21.000 datasets
5- Wikipedia
link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_datasets_for_machine-learning_research
A very well organized repository for different types of datasets from Wikipedia
