Answers get posted in response to questions. Answers can only be posted by users who are registered as Professionals. However, if someone has changed their registration type after joining, they may show up as the author of an Answer even if they are no longer a Professional.\n\n- **comments.csv:** Comments can be made on Answers or Questions. We refer to whichever the comment is posted to as the \"parent\" of that comment. Comments can be posted by any type of user. Our favorite comments tend to have \"Thank you\" in them :) \n\n- **emails.csv:** Each email corresponds to one specific email to one specific recipient. The frequency_level refers to the type of email template which includes immediate emails sent right after a question is asked, daily digests, and weekly digests. \n\n- **group_memberships.csv:** Any type of user can join any group. There are only a handful of groups so far.\n\n- **groups.csv:** Each group has a \"type\". For privacy reasons we have to leave the group names off.\n\n- **matches.csv:** Each row tells you which questions were included in emails. If an email contains only one question, that email's ID will show up here only once. If an email contains 10 questions, that email's ID would show up here 10 times. \n\n- **professionals.csv:** We call our volunteers \"Professionals\", but we might as well call them Superheroes. They're the grown ups who volunteer their time to answer questions on the site. \n\n- **questions.csv:** Questions get posted by students. Sometimes they're very advanced. Sometimes they're just getting started. It's all fair game, as long as it's relevant to the student's future professional success.\n\n- **school_memberships.csv:** Just like group_memberships, but for schools instead.\n\n- **students.csv:** Students are the most important people on CareerVillage.org. They tend to range in age from about 14 to 24. They're all over the world, and they're the reason we exist!\n\n- **tag_questions.csv:** Every question can be hashtagged. We track the hashtag-to-question pairings, and put them into this file.\n\n- **tag_users.csv:** Users of any type can follow a hashtag.

This isn't a traditional supervised Kaggle machine learning competition. \n\nCareerVillage.org is a nonprofit that crowdsources career advice for underserved youth. Founded in 2011 in four classrooms in New York City, the platform has now served career advice from 25,000 volunteer professionals to over 3.5M online learners. The platform uses a Q&amp;A style similar to StackOverflow or Quora to provide students with answers to any question about any career. \n\nIn this Data Science for Good challenge, CareerVillage.org, in partnership with Google.org, is inviting you to help recommend questions to appropriate volunteers. To support this challenge, CareerVillage.org has supplied five years of data. \n\n## Problem Statement\nThe U.S. has almost 500 students for every guidance counselor. Underserved youth lack the network to find their career role models, making CareerVillage.org the only option for millions of young people in America and around the globe with nowhere else to turn. \n\nTo date, 25,000 volunteers have created profiles and opted in to receive emails when a career question is a good fit for them. This is where your skills come in. To help students get the advice they need, the team at CareerVillage.org needs to be able to send the right questions to the right volunteers. The notifications sent to volunteers seem to have the greatest impact on how many questions are answered.\n\n**Your objective: develop a method to recommend relevant questions to the professionals who are most likely to answer them.** \n\n\n## Criteria for Measuring Solutions\n\n**Performance**: How well does the solution match professionals to the questions they would be motivated to answer? CareerVillage.org will not be able to live-test every submission, so a strong entry will clearly articulate why it will be effective at motivating answers.\n\n\n**Easy to implement**: The CareerVillage.org team wants to put the winning submissions to work, quickly.  A good entry will be well documented and easy to test in production.\n\n\n**Extensibility**: In the future, CareerVillage.org aims to add more data features and to accommodate new objectives. Winning submissions should allow for this and other augmentations to be added in the future. ",
