About Us
citedata.com is a collaborative, open-access repository of datasets, built to fuel the empirical development and evaluation of machine‑learning and data‑science algorithms. Inspired by pioneering platforms such as the UCI Machine Learning Repository and Kaggle, our mission is simple: to empower researchers, educators, and practitioners worldwide by making high‑quality data freely available and easy to share.
Our Story
citedata.com was launched in 2022 by Associate Professor Murat Köklü and his master’s student Beyza Ayvaz, who recognized the transformative power of data sharing in accelerating innovation.
