KDnuggets – Favorite Data Science / Machine Learning Blog
Previous post
In a recent Kaggle Machine Learning and Data Science Survey, KDnuggets was no. 1 among favorite Data Science Blogs, Podcasts, or Newsletters.
Thanks to Bob E. Hayes recent
tweet I found his
blog on Favorite Data Science and Machine Learning Blogs,
which in turn was based on
Kaggle ML and Data Science Survey 2017 results.
The question answered by 8140 Kagglers was
and here are their answers (a total of 21 blogs/podcasts/newsletters):
Fig. 1: Kaggle 2017 Survey Favorite Data Science Blogs/Podcasts/Newsletters
Excluding "Other", here are the top 10 blogs and the percentage of Kagglers who selected them.
The most favorite podcast was Becoming a Data Scientist, with 16.0% share.
The next question in Kaggle survey compared favorite blogs/podcasts/newsletters among Data Scientists who are employed and those looking for work. KDnuggets was No. 1 in both categories!

We are very honored by those results and will try even harder to bring our readers only the most interesting and relevant stories!

Note: ironically, we found a small data cleaning error in these Kaggle results: Andrew Gelman blog "Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science" which has 2 commas in the name appeared as 3 separate blogs with identical results: "and Social Science Blog (Andrew Gelman)", "Causal Inference", and "Statistical Modeling". We fixed that error in Fig. 1, but not changed in Fig. 2 which is a screenshot from Kaggle blog.
