| 總結: | In the personal house renting scenario, customers usually make quick assessments based on previous customers' reviews, which makes such reviews essential for the business. If the house is assessed as popular, a Matthew effect will be observed as more people will be willing to book it. Due to the lack of definition and quantity assessment measures, however, it is difficult to make a popularity evaluation and prediction. To solve this problem, the concept of house popularity is well defined in this paper. Specifically, the house popularity is decided by inter-event timeand rating score at the same time. To make a more effective prediction over these two correlated variables, a dual-gated recurrent unit (DGRU) is employed. Furthermore, an encoder-decoder framework with DGRU is proposed to perform popularity prediction. Empirical results show the effectiveness of the proposed DGRU and the encoder-decoder framework in two-correlated sequences prediction and popularity prediction, respectively. |
