UCI MACHINE LEARNING REPOSITORY: NEW WEB SITE AND FEATURES

We are very pleased to announce the launch of a newly revamped web site 
for the UCI Machine Learning Repository*, online at:
http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/

We have developed a new search portal that allows for faceted browsing 
of over 160 different data sets, using criteria such as data type, 
attribute type, number of instances, and number of attributes. The web 
site allows users to easily find data sets that satisfy particular 
criteria, such as "show all data sets containing only real-valued 
attributes and rank by number of instances." In collaboration with 
Rexa.info, the site now also provides links to published papers that 
have cited each data set.

We are always interested in new data set donations.  If you have a data 
set that you would like to make available to the entire machine learning 
community, please feel free to donate using our automated web form. We 
thank all the previous donors for making this Repository a success.
