Tuesday Tip #21: Find the perfect dataset for your next project 🎯
Hi Reader, let’s get straight to the tip this week!
👉 Tip #21: Five sources for interesting datasets
Let’s say that you need to find a dataset for a Data Science project. Perhaps this is a project for school, or a practice project to build up your portfolio and showcase your skills.
Where should you look? Here are 5 sources I recommend checking out:
- Kaggle Datasets: It’s fun to browse, and the upvoting system makes it easy to discover higher-quality datasets. Also, its Data Explorer lets you see a preview of the raw data.
- Data Is Plural: This is a fascinating weekly newsletter (since 2015!) that highlights “useful/curious datasets.” Search its archive via a Google Sheet or web app.
- Awesome Public Datasets: A gigantic list (on GitHub) of high-quality datasets grouped by topic.
- Data.gov: Open data from the US government. It’s huge, well-organized, and more interesting than you would think!
- Google Dataset Search: This is a great way to search for a dataset, especially if you already have a specific topic in mind. Also, the autocomplete feature is quite nice!
Want even more options? Sebastian Raschka compiled this list of dataset repositories for Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
If you enjoyed this week’s tip, please forward it to a friend! Takes only a few seconds, and it really helps me out! 🙌
See you next Tuesday!

Hi Reader, A reader asked me the following question: I am now looking towards a new career. Machine Learning is what I've always found very interesting and fascinating. However, I'd like to ask you: Is there really future for this stuff with all the buzz about LLMs becoming more and more capable all the time? Would time be spent well on learning all this stuff? Read this article online Excellent question! As someone who just published a book on Machine Learning, I clearly believe there is...
Hi Reader, the response to my new Machine Learning book has been outstanding! 🤩 My goal with this book is to reach as many people as possible, which is why I’ve made it free to read online as well as keeping the paperback and ebook prices as low as possible. I’m confident it would be an invaluable resource for any Machine Learning bootcamp or course, since it's a highly practical guide as opposed to focusing mostly on theory. Do you have a personal contact at any bootcamp or university where...
Hi Reader, I'm thrilled to announce that my new book, Master Machine Learning with scikit-learn, is now on sale! Buy from Amazon I poured my heart and soul into making this the highest quality and most practical Machine Learning book available. Publishing this book is a dream come true, and I'd be grateful if you'd consider picking up a copy! 🙏 Option 1: Get the paperback from Amazon ($19) Although most technical books of this size (300+ pages) tend to sell for at least $39, I've priced the...
