The project consists in analyzing the text of Airbnb property listings and building two different Search Engines that, given as input a query, return the houses that match the query.

Data Source

• Airbnb_Texas_Rentals.csv https://www.kaggle.com/PromptCloudHQ/airbnb-property-data-from-texas

Jupyter Notebooks Descriptions

1. Homework_3.ipynb - This jupyter notebook contains the implementation of Search_Engine_1, Search_Engine_2 and the definition of scoring functions. Some of the used functions are located in the function.py file.

For correct working of Search Engines it is necessary to run Creating_Files.ipyn notebook. Search Engine 1 is using "vocabulary.txt", "inv_indx.txt" files. Search Engine 2 is using "vocabulary.txt", "inv_indx_tfidf.txt" files.

2. Creating_Files.ipynb - In this notebook we create and save the following files "vocabulary.txt", "inv_indx.txt", "inv_indx_tfidf.txt" according to the data.

3. GeoMap.ipynb - There is an implementation of the Geomap for searching documents according to their locations.
