DataHub, open source datasets for Artificial Intelligence
Hi HN! I am an undergrad student trying to build interesting things with AI. Recently, I was looking for a dataset I could use for a new project. I realized that it is really frustrating to go through all the government websites (with terrible UX) just to find some usable dataset. I set out to build a GitHub for datasets, named DataHub. Right now, we have more than 1000 datasets from Montréal and New York City, with more cities coming soon (and possible government agencies). All of this is wrapped into a powerful search. It's a breeze to find a dataset to work on. I'd be interested to know…

In plain words
DataHub is an open source platform that centralizes public datasets from multiple cities and government sources in one searchable repository. It currently hosts over 1,000 datasets from Montreal and New York City, with plans to expand to additional cities and agencies. Designed for AI researchers and developers, DataHub aims to simplify dataset discovery by eliminating the need to navigate multiple government websites with poor interfaces.

Hi there Hacker News, I've started a side project http://datasourcehub.com which aims to be a platform for data scientists. The project is still in the idea phase so the UI/UX and functionality are all subject to change. Feel free to play around, below is a guest login, and make sure files are content type of 'text/csv'. All data is subject to deletion, it's just a sandbox right now! By reaching out to the Hacker News community I hope to reach expert data scientists and get their feedback. Below are some questions I'd like to answer and some proposed directions that this…
