The Machine Learning Mania Contest , hosted by Kaggle and sponsored by HP Software’s Big Data Group, enables you to get creative with the data sets that you use to create your statistical models. You’ll be provided with data covering three decades of historical games, but all participants will be encouraged to pull in data from a variety of external sources.
