- 17. Researchers from theWeb Search, E- commerce and Marketplace domains have realized that just like one can train word embeddings by treating a sequence of words in a sentence as context, the same can be done for training embeddings of user actions by treating sequence of user actions as context. Applying word2vec to Recommenders and Advertising Mihajlo Grbovic, Airbnb User activity around an item encodes many abstract qualities of that item which are difficult to capture by more direct means (e.g. How do you encode qualities like “architecture, style and feel” of an Airbnb listing? The word2vec approach has proven successful in extracting these hidden insights. Being able to compare, search, and categorize items on these abstract dimensions opens up a lot of opportunities for smarter, better recommendations.

- 19. Airbnb Recommender Systems Airbnb is a marketplace that contains millions of diverse home listings Potential guests explore the listings through search results generated from a sophisticated Machine Learning models. Similar Listing Carousel shows listing recommendations related to the current viewed listing. Initially, search rankings were determined by a set of hard-coded rules based on very basic signals The rules were applied to every guest uniformly, rather than taking into account the unique values that could create the kind of a personalized experience that keeps guests coming back. Airbnb uses machine learning to offer personalized search experience.
- 20. Listing Embeddings in Search Ranking AirbnbRecommender Systems The listing embeddings are vector representations of Airbnb homes learned from search sessions. They effectively encode many listing features, such as location, price, listing type, architecture and listing style, all using only 32 float numbers. Measure similarities: Similar listings lie nearby in the embedding space. Improving Similar Listing Recommendations and Real-Time Personalization in Search Ranking.
