Boarding House Renting Price Prediction Using Deep Neural Network Regression on Mobile Apps
This study aims to simplify the process of finding suitable and affordable boarding houses for college students in Indonesia by providing price predictions.
This paper addresses the challenge of uneven distribution of educational institutions in Indonesia, which leads students to spend more effort comparing boarding house rents. The authors developed a mobile application that predicts boarding house prices based on city, area, type, and facilities using Deep Neural Network Regression.
Boarding house is the most important requirement, especially for college students who live far away from the city, place of his origin or house. However, the problem we see now is the uneven distribution of study places in Indonesia which 75% of the best top educational institutions come from the island of Java. So, students who are looking for boarding houses rent requires more effort in comparing the various aspects desired. They need to survey one by one to the boarding house they want, even though they can survey online, it still requires more effort to pay attention to the desired facilities one by one. Therefore, we then created an Mobile Application that can predict prices based on student needs by comparing several variables, namely city, area, type of boarding house, and facilities. So, students can easily estimate the ideal price. The results of this study prove that we have succeeded in predicting prices for boarding houses rent well based on the variables we have determined, and modeling that variables using Deep Neural Network Regression.
