# Airbnb Price Prediction :house:



Looking for a fair-priced Airbnb listing to book? 



Are you a real estate firm or Airbnb host seeking to set competitive prices?



Artificial Intelligence is surely the way to go! :robot:



In this Quantitative Economics Bachelor Thesis, Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms are used to accurately predict Airbnb rental prices.



Two datasets for Los Angeles city are retrieved from [Inside Airbnb](http://insideairbnb.com/): listings data and the reviews dataset.



Combining custom functions, transfer learning and Open Source AI frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow and PyTorch, several AI models are built to help economic agents make informed decisions.



A Bayesian perspective is taken to perform statistical inference, hyperparameter tuning and data modeling.



Additionally, XAI methods are used to overcome the black box problem of AI algorithms.

# General Code



Since Python code has been divided into multiples files, the one below combined all the programmed functions for retrieving relevant results.

# NLP and CV



NLP and Computer Vision algorithms used on the reviews and listings dataset, respectively. 



VADER, a sentiment analysis tool was tweaked so as to adapt it to Airbnb data.



For CV, a pretrained Deep Learning model called deepface was utilized.

# Machine Learning and Deep Learning



AI algorithms for predicting prices. In the ML part, Bayesian Ridge Regression, Elastic Net Regression, Random Forest, Bayesian Random Forest,

and XGBoost were used.



For DL, Artificial Neural Networks and Bayesian Neural Networks were built. 



Note that TPE algorithm (Bayesian Optimization) was used to select the best performing hyperparameters.
