Getting some slight differences. I checked some of the other solutions and they seem to be seeing the same discrepancies.

Here is my solution. I couldn't figure out how the numbers were calculated so some of the numbers are off.

Hi All ,

 

This is my very first weekly challenge response 🙂

I am excited to share the news that my paper "Workday Data Migration : How we saved over 2000 hours of manual effort" was chosen for the Excellence Award !!!!

 

For this weekly challenge , I used the summarise function and the count function on the lyric field to return counts , count distinct of lines per album. Using the data I arrived at the duplicate records. The data matched for some records but was off by 1 number for a few. Attached is my workflow.

 

Regards

Sambit

I wanted to practice my data frames with this one, so I used the python tool. Like others have mentioned, my results are very close to the expected output counts.

 

On a whim I also tried training an RNN (not attached) to generate new T-Swift songs, but after 30 epochs it was over-fitting. Reducing the number of epochs produced incoherent lyrics. At approximately 33k words, there wasn't enough data to satisfy the network. We'll have to wait for more Taylor albums! 🙂
