Agreed, I think this made the front page solely riding off the hype of the recent AI and Machine Learning media surge.

I would love to hear more information though. Fun fact, part of my data analytics course next semester involves participating in Kaggle competitions.

OP here - thanks for the feedback. The post was intentionally designed to be quite light and introductory (specifically for those not familiar with Kaggle), but fear not, in the future I will be covering the practical aspects of data science (I'm presently working on a tutorial piece that explain how to use http://julialang.org - which is one of my favourite new languages for data science). Stay tuned.

<blog>I recently signed up for Kaggle. I think it's cool, too.</blog>
