Texts of different genres tend to have different degrees of formality. The project aims at analyzing Reddit submissions across various categories/discourses and finding if a correlation exists between Formality of the submission and how viral the submission becomes. A variety of experiments were carried out to verify the same and if possible observe any interesting patterns that might emerge. 2019-11-01T00:00:00Z
