Kaggle Joins Google Cloud

I'm proud and excited to share that Kaggle is joining Google Cloud! Seven years ago, we launched our first ever competition, to predict the voting patterns for the Eurovision Song Contest. It was won by Jure Zbontar, who beat 21 teams to win the $1000 prize. Since then, the Kaggle community has used machine learning to grade high school essays, diagnose heart failure and increase the discovery significance of the Higgs Boson. Geoff Hinton and George Dahl showed the power of deep neural networks on a Merck competition and Tianqi Chen used Kaggle Kernels to introduce the community to XGBoost. Kaggle profiles have become a well recognized credential, with community members landing jobs at companies ranging from DeepMind to Walmart.
