Technology giant Google has announced
the acquisition of Kaggle, a start-up that hosts a number of data scientists,
for an undisclosed amount at the Cloud Next 2017 conference. Founded in 2010,
Kaggle is home to the world’s largest community of data scientists and machine
learning enthusiasts.
More than 8 Lakh data experts use
Kaggle to explore, analyze and understand the latest updates in machine
learning and data analytics. Kaggle and Google Cloud will continue to support
machine learning and deployment services while offering the community the
ability to store and query large datasets.
Google must lower the barriers of
entry to AI and make it available to the largest community of developers, users
and enterprises so that they can apply it to their own unique needs. Making
Google Cloud Technology available to Kaggle community will allow us to offer
access to powerful infrastructure, scalable training and deployment services
and the ability to store and query large data sets.
Amazon Web Services and Microsoft
Azure, the two public clouds that are bigger than Google cloud, also offer data
sciences services. Google cloud already provides Cloud Machine Learning Engine, among other managed services for
working on data.
