DeaR ComRades, This is a quote from a News article in Science's 11-February issue, about competitions to model data:
"For Chris Raimondi, a search-engine expert based in Baltimore, Maryland, and winner of the HIV-treatment competition, the Kaggle contest motivated him to hone his skills in a newly learned computer language called R, which he used to encode the winning data model. Raimondi also enjoys the competitive aspect of Kaggle challenges: "It was nice to be able to compare yourself with others; ... it became kind of addictive. ... I spent more time on this than I should."
