I think these contest brings out techniques one would not normally read about in the run of the mill text book on Data Mining/Science and Machine Learning --I particular enjoyed furthering my education in the area of feature extraction, feature selection and all the associated techniques.</p>\n<p>I look forward to the next competition......</p>\n<p>Best wishes to all</p>\n<p>Michael.</p>\n<p>PS: To all new people entering a Kaggle completions; read the requirements carefully. Enter the competition early so you get the needed data... some dataset download could take days as it was my experience...</p>",
