The dataset contains 61 columns.
The goal is to predict shares. Thus remaining 58 columns are used for prediction. Some of the columns are as follows - + n_tokens_title - Number of words in the title + num_imgs - Number of images present in the blog + average_token_length - Average length of the words in the content

Files

Following files can be found in resources section

  • train.csv - (26715 samples) This csv file contains the attributes describing the blog written along with share count .
  • test.csv - (13082 samples)File that will be used for actual evaluation for the leaderboard score.

πŸš€ Submission

  • Prepare a CSV containing header as share and predicted value as share count respectively denoting the number of shares it will recieve.
  • Name of the above file should be submission.csv.
  • Sample submission format available at sample_submission.csv in the resorces section.
