Image-Based Airbnb Pricing Algorithm

• Created a deep learning alogrithm to predict the price of an Airbnb listing only from a picture from the listing
• used two types of CNN's models
  1. a custom CNN
  2. InceptionV3 that was pre-trained on the image_net dataset
• Data: downloaded a csv with Airbnb data from http://insideairbnb.com/get-the-data.html
  • only used data from NY

• also recently added a model using other featers to predict the price of a listing, next project I will combine the features with the image of the listing and see how good the model can preform
