Context (from https://www.kaggle.com/therohk/million-headlines )

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, e.g :

20191219,charles massy and regenerative agriculture drought 20191219,charles massy merino drought sale

I did not make any effort to prevent from going one sentence like this to the train and second one to the test.
