Do you feel lonely? Do you want more colleagues? Especially ones that understand expressions such as validation error, overfitting and SVM? Then you need to find data miners. Here are a few advices on how to find them:
- Have a look at the list of data mining people on Kmining
- Take a data mining book and look at the names of the authors
- Follow some of them on Twitter
- Get in touch with the VIP in data mining
- On LinkedIn, do a people search using “data mining”
- Search for “data mining” on the “Members” page of AnalyticBridge
- Participate to KDnuggets forums
- Follow the data mining feeds on twendz
- Participate to their blogs
- Go to data mining conferences and meet data miners (see KDnuggets and Kmining)
If you have other ways to find data miners, don’t hesitate to share them here.

You can also search groups on LinkedIn (enter keyword data mining, web mining, text mining, or machine learning). Quora.com has also a good number of data mining contributors. Some can be found on Facebook, especially if you check pages from organizations (INFORMS, IEEE Computing, ACM, etc.)
The secret is not how to find them but how to find the ones that aren’t difficult to deal with
I would add also the academic teams: …when I need to discuss about specific topic, I search for scientific papers, and If I have some questions I write an email directly to the authors 🙂
Thank you all for your nice input to my initial list!
@Paul Edwards: do you speak by experience? 🙂
