Wanted: open data suitable for a data science project!
Every year, we ask our students 2nd bach to do a project. We give them a (big) dataset (preferably in JSON or a bunch of files combined), ask some research question, and ask them to perform data cleaning and exploration related to that question using #Rstats.
I've used most obvious choices, so I'm turning to Fedi to find new, interesting datasets. If you have no idea, sharing helps too!

@adenoz Thanks, I didn't know that one. Very interesting, and indeed the kind of data structure I am looking for. It's a bit far from their major (it's students Bio-engineering), so I might opt for another dataset closer to that if I find one. But this one is definitely flagged and stored for future use.

@JorisMeys OpenAlex may be too big? https://docs.openalex.org/download-all-data/openalex-snapshot

@JorisMeys You could use some animal tracking data, e.g. from movebank. We also have drone images of seals if you are interested.

The chess server LiChess @lichess releases all chess games played on the server under cc0. 7,507,487,928 games so far, released in monthly batches.

@JorisMeys Have you offered them the Open Food Facts data already?

@JorisMeys I've been playing with the BTO bird survey data lately - 1994-2024, several million survey counts, interesting structure, one or two data cleaning challenges, possible research Q's over species distribution change, climate change effects, either over single species or groups. https://zenodo.org/records/18598453

@GeertAarts @JorisMeys there's also the LiveMouseTracker datasets, very detailed movement and interaction data of up to 4 lab mice in SQLite format.
See here for the project's website https://micecraft.org/lmt/,
and here for an example dataset: https://micecraft.org/lmt/download/20180110_validation_4_ind_Experiment_6644_e.sqlite(This project is cool for many other reasons, not least the ikea-style build instructions or the fact that they repurpose Kinect cameras for scientific work as high-res 3D video cameras).

@JorisMeys In quantum field theory, one has certain regular graphs, each of which evaluates to a real number through some very complicated integral. The task is to predict that number through correlations with properties of the graph (number of cycles, cuts, etc.). For almost 2 million graphs, these numbers are freely available. See last paragraph of https://paulbalduf.com/research/statistics-periods/

UK DEFRA has some https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/data/data-availability
https://sensor.community/en/ has a large Air quality dataset.
There is also an archive of Scottish Datasets.
https://opendata.scot/some of that may be useful.

UK Office for National Statistics have lots of data sets which might be relevant for you 🙂

@JorisMeys use #GBIF species occurrence point-data (@gbif ). Also spatial, and combinable: https://geodaten.bayern.de

@JorisMeys This https://b-rowlingson.gitlab.io/n8workshop/Birds/birds.html is the sample analysis I did for a workshop - its very much done for teaching purposes rather than scientific ones, but there's probably a lot of science could come out of it.

@JorisMeys Oh, Pirate Bay is full of training data. If it's good enough (and legal enough) for Meta it should be good enough for the rest of us.

@JorisMeys Not sure if that's obvious enough but ECMWF offers a number of weather-related datasets. https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets

@fucinafibonacci @filippodb @spettacoli imho Pulp Fiction grandissimo film sul cinema di quel tipo lì, quasi un manifesto, tipico di quel pazzo di Quentin.

@cwebber What's telling, I think, is that all these people go on about how much they're doing and how great AI is to help them build more *but there's no actual demonstrable stuff being done.* I mean, if AI was some kind of Nx multiplier you'd think we'd be getting N times more actual functionality out of software but mostly it seems like the N multiplier only applies to blog posts about how AI multiplies their programming.

Steve Klabnik also had an interview on lobste.rs. There's a lot in it! It's a cool read! https://alexalejandre.com/programming/steve-klabnik-interview/
And then it gets to the AI part and he's just like "oh I don't write code anymore".
And notably Steve Klabnik has a lot to say about code, but it's *all in the past*.
Lots of brilliant people are becoming non-practitioners.

@stevendb perhaps the worst year, so far. But, I can still have a little fun.

L’Ungheria ferma le sanzioni UE sui coloni israeliani in Cisgiordania. Kallas: “Non decide la maggioranza, ma un solo Paese”

Budapest rappresentata dal ministro Péter Szijjártó ha bloccato anche il 20esimo pacchetto di sanzioni alla Russia, e ha ritrattato il sì al maxi-prestito all'Ucraina, concordato dai leader a dicembre
