    摘要: Systems and methods for travel-specific natural language processing are disclosed. The techniques described herein include maintaining a first dataset having a standardized text format and a second dataset having a noisy text format, each of which corresponds to a travel-specific lexicon. The techniques include generating training data corresponding to a first training objective and a second training objective based on the first dataset and the second dataset. A machine-learning model can be trained using the training data according to the first and second training objectives.

    摘要: A network-based service may be provided for facilitating queries for a number of items, such as travel services. A user may submit a query including criteria for determining relevant items. The network-based service may be configured to generate opaque search results in response to queries, revealing sufficient detail to allow the user to confirm the relevance of the travel item, but insufficient detail to disclose the identity of the supplier. Based on the submitted query or other information, the network-based service may associate a persona with the user, such as the persona of a business or leisure traveler. The network-based service may use the persona to determine a travel item or items best suited to the user, by identifying the travel item attributes that correlate positively with preferences of the persona. The network-based service may then generate an opaque search result that reveals travel item attributes desired by the persona.

    摘要: Described is a system and method that satisfies offers from customers with quotes from suppliers in a way that increases the likelihood of achieving an acceptable match. The system of the present invention is configured to receive from a customer an offer for a product. The system queries in parallel multiple suppliers for rate quotes on the desired product. Each of the suppliers is ranked according to the lowest rate quoted by each supplier. The supplier quoting the lowest rate is selected as the winner of the offer. The system may then evaluate any other rate quotes provided by the winning provider. The system may satisfy the customer's offer with the winning provider at a higher rate (if one was provided) than the winning rate quoted, up to the customer's offer (perhaps adjusted for a reasonable profit). In this way, even though the provider provides low rate quotes to win the offer, the provider may still realize a much higher rate for the goods or services by quoting additional, higher rate quotes as well.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing improved graphical user interfaces are disclosed. A method includes: receiving experience information associated with an experience; evaluating the experience information based on contextual information associated with the experience; determining a priority of the experience information based on the evaluation; retrieving a digital object template from a limited number of digital object templates based on the determined priority of the experience information; populating the retrieved digital object template with corresponding experience information to generate a contextual digital interface object; and providing the contextual digital interface object on a graphical user interface of a user device, the contextual digital interface object comprising a selectable feature based on the corresponding experience information.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for automatically orchestrating the handling of events through a processing pipeline without limitation (or without a substantial limitation) as to the size of the event payload associated with the event. The event pipeline system stores event payloads in data stores and generates notifications regarding the events. The notifications may be placed into event streams for handling by various processing components of the event pipeline system. The processing components may receive notifications or events that they are to process, and may separately access event payloads from the data stores. The processing components may generate and save processed event payloads to the data stores in a streaming fashion such that the computing resources of the processing components do not limit (or substantially limit) the size of the event payloads that the processing components may handle.

    摘要: Secure authentication and delayed transaction processing for booking management systems is provided. Third-party services partner with booking management systems to aggregate and list offerings of the third-party services in a digestible display on a one-stop platform. A booking management system can manage the authentication of payment card information on behalf of any number of such third-party services. The booking management system can maintain and process authentication information associated with traveler payment cards, and provide virtual payment information to the third-party services for delayed transactions. The third-party services may later initiate the delayed transactions using the virtual payment information, without being required to perform authentication processing on the traveler payment card information maintained by the booking management system.
