February 2016: Scripts of the Week

February's batch of Scripts of the Week highlights some of the month's best content produced by Kagglers on our public datasets. It also includes a great getting started script predicting outcomes of the 2016 NCAA basketball tournaments for March Machine Learning Mania 2016. Actually, I'm quite new to Kaggle, and before entering into the jungle of competitions, I wanted to train on datasets. I believe that training on datasets is a good way to start on Kaggle: there is no deadline, no competition. I chose this dataset because it was typically calling for sentiment analysis, which is a classical exercise for text-mining.
