# Genius Lyrics |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is a processed, lightweight subset of the original brunokreiner/genius-lyrics dataset. It has been filtered to focus exclusively on English songs with valid artist data, making it optimized for NLP tasks involving English songwriting, lyric generation, or genre classification. |
|
|
|
|
|
All original credit goes to [Bruno Kreiner](https://huggingface.co/brunokreiner) for scraping and compiling the original data. This version is simply a filtered downsize for ease of use. |

|
## Processing & Filtering |
|
|
The following processing steps were applied to the original dataset to create this version: |
|
|
|
|
|
- Artist Validation: Removed all rows where the artist_name was missing or null. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Language Filtering: Filtered strictly for English songs (where is_english was marked as True). |
|
|
|
|
|
-Feature Reduction: Dropped extraneous metadata columns to reduce file size and complexity. Only the essential columns for lyric analysis were retained. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Structure |

The dataset consists of a CSV file containing the following columns: |
|
|
|
|
|
- artist_name (string): The name of the recording artist or band. |
|
|
|
|
|
- genres_list (string/list): A list of genres associated with the track. |
|
|
|
