Data Science Blogathon 5

The Data Science Blogathon Returns with a Bang!

“If you want to change the world, pick up a pen and write.” — Martin Luther

The Blogathons that we have conducted so far have received tremendous support from the community! We received 200+ articles from our community members who put pen to paper like never before, explaining their thoughts on data science and machine learning in an exquisite and easy to understand manner.

We are delighted to announce the launch of Analytics Vidhya’s fifth Data Science Blogathon, the ultimate competition which combines your writing prowess with your machine learning skills!

The best way to learn any concept, especially in data science, is by writing about it. That not only helps you understand what you learned in more detail but sharing it with the community helps others understand how a particular data science idea works.

Analytics Vidhya has always been at the forefront of knowledge sharing, and we want to continue this trend among our community members.

We will not only publish the best articles on Analytics Vidhya’s blog but also, provide feedback to every writer on their article. Along with recognition in front of a broad audience, there are lucrative prizes to be won!

You can write on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:

• Machine Learning and Data Science
• Data Engineering
• Business Intelligence
• Deep Learning
• Data Science in the industry
• Careers in ML and DS
• Statistics
• Python/R/SAS programming

And many more!
