As suggested by a few users on the IRC channel, I have added a function to query the UCI ML repository website and return a list of names of currently available datasets and their default task.
You can find the updated package here: https://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo.jl After cloning the package, please use the function: ucirepolist() for listing all the datasets available. However, I am not very happy with the speed of the function. Due to unavailability of html parsers in Julia, I had to call python modules (namely. lxml) which I believe is retarding the function. Any ideas for a workaround here? I will be really grateful if you could have a look at the code and suggest other changes to improve on the speed of the function.
