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, I hope you're having a great September! 🍂 Two quick announcements for you: 1️⃣ I'm working on two mystery courses right now: The first is an ML course, and the second has nothing to do with Data Science! 🤯 Can you guess what the second course is about? 2️⃣ On Monday, I'm raising the price of my Master Machine Learning book from $19 to $29. But until Monday, you can still snag a paperback copy for $19! The ebook will continue to be priced at $19, and you can still read the book...
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...
