**November 23 Talk - Real Estate Data AI**

This talk will walk through the design and engineering of an AI-powered neighborhood recommendation system built with Python, real-estate datasets, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It highlights how embeddings, FAISS vector search, and LLM reasoning can connect lifestyle prompts to the underlying housing data.

David Neish is a HCI graduate student and software engineer who brings firsthand real-estate experience into his AI-driven neighborhood recommendation system. His recent work includes systems that blend lifestyle context with real-world data to generate grounded, intuitive insights.
