NYC Residential Property Sale Insight: Model Improvement and AI Integration

This session explores advanced analysis of NYC residential property sales (2019–2024) using NYC Open Data, with a focus on model improvement and AI integration. Researchers Yue Ru Li and Chunhong Zhao will demonstrate how combining Department of Finance sales data with Department of Buildings permit data can enhance predictive performance. Participants will work through a hands-on Python notebook covering feature engineering, data visualization, and machine learning models, while also learning how an embedded AI assistant can streamline data cleaning, feature generation, and model interpretation.
