ML-ProblemStatement Youtube Adview Prediction-1 Lyst8087

The document describes a project to predict YouTube ad views based on other video metrics like views, likes, dislikes, comments, publish date, duration and category. The training data contains these metrics for about 15,000 YouTube videos as well as the target variable of ad views. The goal is to train various regression models on the data to select the best one for predicting ad views. The data needs preprocessing like cleaning, transformation and normalization before using it to train models like linear regression, decision trees and neural networks to solve the regression problem.

adview Prediction
Data Description
The file train.csv contains metrics and other details of about 15000 youtube
videos. The metrics include number of views, likes, dislikes, comments and
apart from that published date, duration and category are also included.

The train.csv file also contains the metric number of adviews which is our
target variable for prediction.

Context :
Youtube advertisers pay content creators based on adviews and clicks for the
goods and services being marketed. They want to estimate the adview based
on other metrics like comments, likes etc. The problem statement is therefore
to train various regression models and choose the best one to predict the
number of adviews. The data needs to be refined and cleaned before feeding
in the algorithms for better results.

Attribute Information
'vidid' : Unique Identification ID for each video

'adview' : The number of adviews for each video

Project : Youtube adview Prediction 1


'views' : The number of unique views for each video

'likes' : The number of likes for each video


'dislikes' : The number of likes for each video

'comment' : The number of unique comments for each video


'published' : The data of uploading the video

'duration' : The duration of the video (in min. and seconds)

'category' : Category niche of each of the video

Objective
To build a machine learning regression to predict youtube adview count based
on other youtube metrics.

Steps and Tasks


1. Import the datasets and libraries, check shape and datatype.
2. Visualise the dataset using plotting using heatmaps and plots. You
can study data distributions for each attribute as well.
3. Clean the dataset by removing missing values and other things.
4. Transform attributes into numerical values and other
necessary transformations
5. Normalise your data and split the data into training, validation and test
set in the appropriate ratio.
6. Use linear regression, Support Vector Regressor for training and get
errors.
7. Use Decision Tree Regressor and Random Forest Regressors.
8. Build an artificial neural network and train it with different layers
and hyperparameters. Experiment a little. Use keras.
9. Pick the best model based on error as well as
generalisation.
10. Save your model and predict on the test set.
