Our goal is to support the growth of data science and machine learning professionals
Towards Data Science started in 2016 as a community-powered hub where data science and machine learning practitioners can share their knowledge and ideas with their peers – regardless of their location or background. This fundamental goal remains the same today.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a publication with hundreds of active authors, a team of editors that ensure the quality of the articles we publish, and millions of readers and followers across our main site, newsletters, and social channels.
We’re thrilled to be a leading hub for learning about data science, ML, AI, and adjacent topics, especially as developments in these fields affect an increasing number of people, communities, and societies around the world. We’re equally proud to be a welcoming and inclusive community, where authors and readers from all over the world, representing a wide range of opinions and experience levels, come together with a shared sense of mutual respect and a focus on professional and intellectual growth.
TDS is committed to equity and fairness, and we acknowledge that, as a Canada-based publication, our core editorial team works on the traditional lands of several First Nations. We actively promote voices and research that ground data science as a force against discrimination, bias, and marginalization, and avoid coverage of tools and practices that we consider potentially harmful.
We’ve evolved in many ways since our early days as a grassroots Medium publication, and we’re sure that we’ll continue to grow alongside our community. What will never change is our mission to share the best writing we can find on the topics we cover. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
