+Data is exactly the same as in ireland news headlines
+
+## Context (from https://www.kaggle.com/therohk/ireland-historical-news )

+
+Created over 160 years ago; the agency can provides long term birds eye view of the happenings in Europe.
+
+
+# Challange creation
+
+Year is normalized as follows:
+
+'''
+    days_in_year = 366 if is_leap else 365
+    normalized = d.year + ((day_of_year-1)  / days_in_year)
+'''
+
+train, dev, test split is 80%, 10%, 10% randomly
+
+note that there are very similar headlines in the data
+
+I did not make any effort to prevent from going one sentence like this to the train and second one to the test.
+
+I used a first category in the classification task. E.g there is "world" instead of "world.us" as on original dataset.
