Practice Machine Learning with Datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository

Last Updated on July 5, 2019

Where can you get good datasets to practice machine learning?

Datasets that are real-world so that they are interesting and relevant, although small enough for you to review in Excel and work through on your desktop.

In this post you will discover a database of high-quality, real-world, and well understood machine learning datasets that you can use to practice applied machine learning.

This database is called the UCI machine learning repository and you can use it to structure a self-study program and build a solid foundation in machine learning.

Why Do We Need Practice Datasets?

If you are interested in practicing applied machine learning, you need datasets on which to practice.

This problem can stop you dead.

  • Which dataset should you use?
  • Should you collect your own or use one off the shelf?
  • Which one and why?

I teach a top-down approach to machine learning where I encourage you to learn a process for working a problem end-to-end,
