Abstract

On-line platforms such as Kaggle have been used by companies to launch data analytics challenges. The objective of this work is to generate a meta-dataset in the attribute-value format which gathers characteristics of datasets from some of the competitions and also the performance achieved by a set of techniques in their solution. Finally, the difficulty level of the challenges will be assessed by some dedicated meta-features. (AU)
