Selecting Important Features

Selecting Important Features

The HuffPost dataset contains multiple columns, but not all of them are required for generating recommendations. In this project, we use only the columns that describe the content of each news article.

Code

news = news[

['headline',

'short_description',

'category']

]

Explanation

The selected features provide meaningful textual information.

  • headline – News title
  • short_description – Brief summary of the article
  • category – News category

These columns are sufficient for building a content-based recommendation system.

Output

A new DataFrame containing only the required features is created.
