• Title: Towards robust and speculation-reduction real estate pricing models based on a data-driven strategy
• Authors: Vladimir Vargas-Calder\'on and Jorge E. Camargo
• Abstract summary: We propose a data-driven real estate pricing model based on machine learning methods to estimate prices reducing human bias. We test the model with 178,865 flats listings from Bogot'a, collected from 2016 to 2020. Results show that the proposed state-of-the-art model is robust and accurate in estimating real estate prices.

• Abstract: In many countries, real estate appraisal is based on conventional methods that rely on appraisers' abilities to collect data, interpret it and model the price of a real estate property. With the increasing use of real estate online platforms and the large amount of information found therein, there exists the possibility of overcoming many drawbacks of conventional pricing models such as subjectivity, cost, unfairness, among others. In this paper we propose a data-driven real estate pricing model based on machine learning methods to estimate prices reducing human bias. We test the model with 178,865 flats listings from Bogot\'a, collected from 2016 to 2020. Results show that the proposed state-of-the-art model is robust and accurate in estimating real estate prices. This case study serves as an incentive for local governments from developing countries to discuss and build real estate pricing models based on large data sets that increases fairness for all the real estate market stakeholders and reduces price speculation.

  Federated learning (FL) is increasingly recognized for its efficacy in training models using locally distributed data. We frame FL as a marketplace of models, where clients act as both buyers and sellers. We propose an auction-based solution to ensure proper pricing based on performance gain.

• Scaling Laws Do Not Scale [54.72120385955072]
  Recent work has argued that as the size of a dataset increases, the performance of a model trained on that dataset will increase. We argue that this scaling law relationship depends on metrics used to measure performance that may not correspond with how different groups of people perceive the quality of models' output. Different communities may also have values in tension with each other, leading to difficult, potentially irreconcilable choices about metrics used for model evaluations.

• Predicting housing prices and analyzing real estate market in the Chicago suburbs using Machine Learning [0.0]
  Post-pandemic markets have experienced volatility in the Chicago suburb area, which have affected house prices greatly. This study was done on the Naperville/Bolingbrook real estate market to predict property prices based on these housing attributes through machine learning models. It was found that the XGBoost model performs the best in predicting house prices despite the additional volatility sponsored by post-pandemic conditions.

  We conduct a crowdsourcing study, where participants interact with deception detection models that have been trained to distinguish between genuine and fake hotel reviews. We observe that for a linear bag-of-words model, participants with access to the feature coefficients during training are able to cause a larger reduction in model confidence in the testing phase when compared to the no-explanation control.

  We propose a Multi-Task Hierarchical Graph Representation Learning (MugRep) framework for accurate real estate appraisal. By acquiring and integrating multi-trivial urban data, we first construct a rich feature set to comprehensively profile real estate from multiple perspectives. An evolving real estate transaction graph and a corresponding event graph convolution module are proposed to incorporate asynchronouslytemporal dependencies among real estate transactions.

  This study investigates what extent an automated visual analysis of apartment floor plans on online real estate platforms can enhance hedonic rent price appraisal. We propose a tailored two-staged deep learning approach to learn price-relevant designs of floor plans from historical price data. Our empirical analysis based on a unique dataset of 9174 real estate listings suggests that current hedonic models underutilize the available data.
