The AI Seminar is a weekly meeting at the University of Alberta where researchers interested in artificial intelligence (AI) can share their research. Presenters include both local speakers from the University of Alberta and visitors from other institutions. Topics can be related in any way to artificial intelligence, from foundational theoretical work, to innovative applications of AI techniques, to new fields and problems.
On June 7, Dan Belostotsky — Founder & CEO of HonestDoor — presented “HonestDoor: Entrepreneurship and the Journey of Using Data Science to Disrupt Real Estate" at the AI Seminar.
Abstract:
HonestDoor is a technology company with a focus on data in real estate. With Canada’s largest real estate database, it uses AI/ML to estimate home values for all residential properties across Canada. I will be discussing how our company has used this to become a fast-growing site for hundreds of thousands of buyers and sellers. I’ll also discuss the challenges we’ve had both as a company and also in developing our product.
