What does it take to go viral on social media ? We give you the features of news articles. Predict the number of 'share' it gets on social platforms.

Understand with code! Here is getting started code for you.😄

💾 Dataset

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

More info is contained in dataset_info.txt

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.

🚀 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.

Make your first submission here 🚀 !!
