2. Valuation Estimates
 Extract features from property data (#
beds, # baths, sqft, past sales etc)
 Use a very complex algorithm to estimate
price using these features
 Give users the option to register their
feedback

7. Goals
 Auto correction of the estimate based on
the feedback?
 Checking for obvious mistakes?
 Facilitating easy review of the feedbacks?
 Discovering new useful features?

13. After Sorting

14. After Sorting

15. What is the Sorting Based on?
 How detailed is the replay?
 How far off are we?
 Did a registered user submit the
feedback?
 Normalization/ regularization

16. Distribution by Geographical
Scope
Global Average: 1.2178

17. Text Clustering (in progress)
 Use Apache Mahout to cluster feedback
text
 Discover terms that most frequently occur
together in feedback texts
