Sources tell us that Google is acquiring Kaggle, a platform that hosts data science and machine learning
competitions. Details about the transaction remain somewhat vague , but given that Google is hosting
its Cloud Next conference in San Francisco this week, the official announcement could come as early
as tomorrow.  Reached by phone, Kaggle co-founder CEO Anthony Goldbloom declined to deny that the
acquisition is happening. Google itself declined 'to comment on rumors'.
Kaggle, which has about half a million data scientists on its platform, was founded by Goldbloom
and Ben Hamner in 2010. The service got an early start and even though it has a few competitors
like DrivenData, TopCoder and HackerRank, it has managed to stay well ahead of them by focusing on its
specific niche. The service is basically the de facto home for running data science  and machine learning
competitions.  With Kaggle, Google is buying one of the largest and most active communities for
data scientists - and with that, it will get increased mindshare in this community, too
(though it already has plenty of that thanks to Tensorflow and other projects).
Kaggle has a bit of a history with Google, too, but that's pretty recent. Earlier this month,
Google and Kaggle teamed up to host a $100,000 machine learning competition around classifying
YouTube videos. That competition had some deep integrations with the Google Cloud Platform, too.
Our understanding is that Google will keep the service running - likely under its current name.
While the acquisition is probably more about Kaggle's community than technology, Kaggle did build
some interesting tools for hosting its competition and 'kernels', too. On Kaggle, kernels are
basically the source code for analyzing data sets and developers can share this code on the
platform (the company previously called them 'scripts').  Like similar competition-centric sites,
Kaggle also runs a job board, too. It's unclear what Google will do with that part of the service.
According to Crunchbase, Kaggle raised $12.5 million (though PitchBook says it's $12.75) since its
launch in 2010. Investors in Kaggle include Index Ventures, SV Angel, Max Levchin, Naval Ravikant,
Google chief economist Hal Varian, Khosla Ventures and Yuri Milner
