Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining the preferences of hosts offering accommodations are disclosed. In one embodiment, an online booking system models the preferences of hosts based on statistical relationships between features of previously received accommodation reservation requests and the acceptance of those reservation requests by the hosts. In particular, the system classifies reservation requests based on several features—a reservation request either possesses a feature or does not possess a feature. The preference of a host for a particular request feature is modeled based on the relationship between the reservation requests that possess the feature and the reservation requests that are accepted by the host.

Claim (Index 16):
A computer system comprising:\n a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program instructions, the computer program instructions comprising instructions that when executed cause a computer processor to perform steps comprising:\n receiving from a guest computer, a search query that specifies a request feature; \n in response to receiving the search query, identifying a plurality of listings for accommodations; \n accessing a plurality of reservation requests received for the plurality of listings, each reservation request for a listing having previously been accepted or rejected by a host computer from which the listing originated; \n determining a cluster preference value based on the plurality of reservation requests; \n for each of the plurality of listings,\n determining a listing-specific preference value for the request feature based on the cluster preference value and a preference value specific to the listing for the request feature, \n generating a preference model based on the listing-specific preference value, and \n applying the preference model to a prospective reservation request associated with the search query to compute a probability that the prospective reservation request will be accepted by the corresponding host computer; \n \n ranking the plurality of listings based on the computed probabilities; and \n transmitting search results corresponding to the plurality of listings to the guest computer for display based on the ranking.
