Luyipai Real Estate Valuation System

Jul 30, 2018 ยท 1 min read

Project Background:

  • Automated property valuation for assets on Luyipai platform.
  • Addressed inefficiencies and low accuracy in manual property appraisals.

Data Collection & Processing:

  • Data sources: Transaction data, listing data, neighborhood prices.
  • Data cleaning: Outlier removal (3-sigma rule), missing value imputation, log transformation for normality.
  • Feature engineering: Area segmentation, building age, decoration, floor, etc.

Modeling & Optimization:

  • Regression algorithms: Linear Regression, Random Forest, GBDT, XGBoost, LightGBM.
  • Hyperparameter tuning: Grid search + cross-validation for tree depth, number of trees, learning rate, min samples per leaf.
  • Ensemble: Stacking of GBDT/XGBoost/LightGBM with linear regression.
  • Addressed imbalance with resampling and probability smoothing.

Workflow:

  1. Process raw data and feature engineering.
  2. Train multiple regression models with optimized hyperparameters.
  3. Fuse results from listing and transaction data.
  4. Detect and correct valuation anomalies.

Project Outcome:

  • Decision tree regression MAPE: 92%; stacking improved by 3%.
  • Increased efficiency and reliability of property valuation, aiding auction asset assessment.
