Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ranking alternative destination recommendations are provided. One of the methods comprises: receiving a trip request comprising an origin and an initial destination; determining one or more alternative destinations based on one or more features of the initial destination; for each of the alternative destinations, determining, based on a machine-learning classifier, a probability for the rider to select a trip option from the origin to the alternative destination, where the machine-learning classifier is trained to accept input comprising one or more attributes of the trip option and generate output comprising the probability for the rider to select the alternative destination; generating a score for each of the alternative destinations based at least on the probability; and ranking, by the computing device of the ridesharing platform, the alternative destinations based on the scores.
