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.
