Building a Better Tour Experience with Machine Learning

چکیده
The motivation of this project is to solve a problem that we currently face working on a project called 27bards, which seeks to revolutionize the tour industry by constructing a database of currently existing tour operators with the Airbnb-like twist of allowing the average person to make money as a part-time tour guide. We wanted to apply machine-learning techniques to make sense of the largely unanalyzed collection of tour operator websites and to ultimately create a rich tour-browsing experience for users.

Bonsai: Interactive Supervision for Machine Learning
We introduce Bonsai, a visual system developed for statistical machine learning researchers, to explore and interact with the model building process and to compare between different models over the same data set. The system is especially valuable for classification problems arising from large and high dimensional data sets, where manual inspection or construction of classification models can be...
متن کاملAudio Guides and Human Tour Guides: Measuring Children's Engagement & Learning at a Museum Setting
In this poster we present a study exploring the benefits of using audio guides instead of human tour guides to foster children’s engagement and learning outcomes during their visit to a natural science museum. We conducted an experiment in a museum with 25 children from a school (9-10 years old) in order to discover if there was any effect of the usage of audio guides regarding children’s engag...

1 We explore the notion of a tour guide software agent for assisting users browsing the World Wide Web. A Web tour guide agent provides assistance similar to that provided by a human tour guide in a museum { it guides the user along an appropriate path through the collection, based on its knowledge of the user's interests, of the location and relevance of various items in the collection, and of...
متن کاملContext driven, adaptive tour computation and information presentation
Standard tours combined with lack of information make many tourists miss some important experiences a destination has to offer. The target of the Dynamic Tour Guide (DTG) is to discover Tour Building Blocks (TBB), e.g. attractions like sights or restaurants, dependent on the actual context which is defined by personal interests, location and schedule of a tourist. It determines current informat...
متن کاملDeveloping a guaranteed-accuracy heuristic learning algorithm for travelling salesman problems
This research investigates the feasibility of applying a guaranteed-accuracy heuristic learning algorithm to address the traveling salesman problem. The research focuses on tour construction. The advantage of tour construction heuristic is its simplicity in concept. However, tour construction heuristic often results in a sub-optimal solution and the tour often needs to be improved after it is b...
