Key Takeaways

Airbnb's ranking algorithm for Experiences is explained, covering the development process and data science approaches used by the Airbnb Data Science team to rank experiences based on user and experience data.

Original Description

Airbnb Experiences is one-of-a-kind offering by Airbnb where people get to experience the local culture of their hosts. But when Airbnb started the Experiences offering, they were not sure how to rank them. In this video (and upcoming videos), we talk about how they went about developing the algorithm that ranks the experiences based on experience and user data. We take a look at the different stages the Airbnb Data Science team went through as they went from offline to online modeling. If you liked the video, please do give it a thumbs up.
