About this Guided Project
Have you ever wondered how much that dream data job you've been eyeing will pay? Well, wonder no more! In this cutting-edge project, we harness the power of state-of-the-art technology to give you an estimate of the average salary for a given data science job posting description.

We utilize text mining techniques to clean and vectorize the data, using the BERT model to extract relevant information. Then, we design a deep neural network for training and testing. The end result? A powerful model that can give you an estimate of a job's salary just by copying and pasting the job description. Say goodbye to hours of scouring job boards and salary calculators - with our model, you'll have the information you need at your fingertips in no time.
