Welcome to our final project. We've taken a database of lyric data from the years 2000-2010 and created some interactive visualizations to go along with it. We looked at the lyrics of songs in each year and calculated TFIDF scores for our data. TFIDF scores calculate the frequency a certain word appears, but also takes in account how unique that term is among all songs.
On the top, there is a slider for you to select the year for which year you want to you want to see our data. Once you have moved the slider, press refresh to visualize that year. On the top left, a word cloud will appear with the top 30 most popular words of that year, by TFIDF score. Below the word cloud you can find a table that shows the term frequency and TFIDF associated with every word that is currently displayed in the word cloud. If you click any word on the word cloud, the right side bar graphs will show how that word compares in each year, by both TFIDF score and the total number of times it has appeared each year. You can also input your own word of choice using the input textbox directly above the slider.
