Yelp Dataset Challenge

From the webpage:

Yelp Dataset Challenge is doubling up: Now 10 cities across 4 countries! Two years, four highly competitive rounds, over $35,000 in cash prizes awarded and several hundred peer-reviewed papers later: the Yelp Dataset Challenge is doubling up. We are proud to announce our latest dataset that includes information about local businesses, reviews and users in 10 cities across 4 countries. The Yelp Challenge dataset is much larger and richer than the Academic Dataset. This treasure trove of local business data is waiting to be mined and we can’t wait to see you push the frontiers of data science research with our data.

…

The Challenge Dataset:

  • 1.6M reviews and 500K tips by 366K users for 61K businesses
  • 481K business attributes, e.g., hours, parking availability, ambience.
  • Social network of 366K users for a total of 2.9M social edges.
  • Aggregated check-ins over time for each of the 61K businesses

    • …

    The deadline for the fifth round of the Yelp Dataset Challenge is June 30, 2015. Submit your project to Yelp by visiting yelp.com/challenge/submit. You can submit a research paper, video presentation, slide deck, website, blog, or any other medium that conveys your use of the Yelp Dataset Challenge data.

    Pitched at students but it is an interesting dataset.

    I first saw this in a tweet by Marin Dimitrov.
