Usually, Family noisy and vast, making it hard to be consumed by users. Content Curation is the process of making content accessible to humans. For example, we have collected over 171M reviews in more than 1.5M properties, which contain highly valuable information about the service a particular accommodation provides and a very rich source of selling points. A Machine Learning model "curates" reviews, con- structing brief and representative summaries of the outstanding aspects of an accommodation (Figure 1(b)). 2.1.6 Content Augmentation. The whole process of users brows- ing, selecting, booking, and reviewing accommodations, puts to our disposal implicit signals that allow us to construct deeper un- derstanding of the services and the quality a particular property or destination can oer. Models in this family derive attributes of a property, destination or even specic dates, augmenting the explicit service oer. Content Augmentation diers from Content Curation in that curation is about making already existing content easily accessible by users whereas augmentation is about enriching an existing entity using data from many others. To illustrate this idea, we give two examples: • Great Value: Booking.com provides a wide selection of prop- erties, oering dierent levels of value in the form of ameni- ties, location, quality of the service and facilities, policies, and many other dimensions. Users need to assess how the price asked for a room relates to the value they would obtain. Applied Data Science Track Paper KDD ’19, August 4–8, 2019, Anchorage, AK, USA

Dierent avors of cross-validation are used to estimate the value of a specic metric that depends on the task (classication, regression, ranking). In Booking.com we are very much concerned with the value a model brings to our customers and our business. Such value is estimated through Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and specic business metrics like conversion, customer service tickets or cancellations. A very interesting nding is that increasing the performance of a model, does not necessarily translates to a gain in value. Figure 4 illustrates this learning. Each point represents the comparison of a successful model that proved its value through a previous RCT, versus a new model. The horizontal coordinate is given by the relative dierence between the new model and the current baseline according to an oine estimation of the performance of the models. This data is only about classiers and rankers, evaluated by ROC AUC and Mean Reciprocal Rank respectively. The vertical coordinate is given by the relative dierence in a business metric of interest as observed Applied Data Science Track Paper KDD ’19, August 4–8, 2019, Anchorage, AK, USA Figure 2: Model Families Business Impact relative to median impact.

When the feature space is too big we can still cache frequent requests in memory. • Bulking: Some products require many requests per predic- tion. To minimize network load, we bulk them together in Figure 7: Examples of Response Distribution Charts Delayed feedback: In other cases the true label is only observed many days or even weeks after the prediction is made. Consider a model that predicts whether a user will submit a review or not. We might make use of this model at shopping time, but the true label will be only observed after the guest completes the stay, which can be months later. Therefore, in these situations, label-dependent metrics like pre- cision, recall, etc, are inappropriate, which led us to the following Applied Data Science Track Paper KDD ’19, August 4–8, 2019, Anchorage, AK, USA
