Given a case study: pricing apartments based on a real estate website. We have thousands of house descriptions with their price. Typically, an example of a house description is the following:

“Great for entertaining: spacious, updated 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Lakeview, 97630. The house will be available from May 1st. Close to nightlife with private backyard. Price ~$1,000,000.”

We are interested in predicting house prices from their description. One potential use case for this would be, as a buyer, to find houses that are cheap compared to their market value.
