摘要

Denied Check-in (DCI), which refers to situations where guests with confirmed reservations are unable to check into their booked accommodations, has become a crucial concern for the online travel platforms (OTPs). In this paper, we address this issue with a novel trend-aware DCI prediction network. Our model is designed to capture the manifold causative factors and multi-scale temporal trends of DCI occurrences using an innovative attention mechanism. To tackle the challenge of data sparsity in DCI prediction, we develop a multi-task learning framework that simultaneously trains the model on both DCI prediction and order refusal prediction tasks. Comprehensive experiments on real-world dataset validate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art baselines. Moreover, our model has been successfully deployed on a popular online travel platform to serve real traffic, leading to notable reduction in the platform’s overall DCI Rate.
