Interesting large scale dataset: D4D mobile data by Danny Bickson.
From the post:
I got the following from Prof. Scott Kirkpatrick.
Write a 250-words research project and get access within a week to the largest ever released mobile phone datasets: datasets based on 2.5 billion records, calls and text messages exchanged between 5 million anonymous users over 5 months.
Participation rules: http://www.d4d.orange.com/
Description of the datasets: http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.0137
The “Terms and Conditions” by Orange allows the publication of resultsbobtained from the datasets even if they do not directly relate to the challenge.
