The application of the system or method of the present disclosure may include a web page, a plug-in of a browser, a client terminal, a custom system, an internal analysis system, an artificial intelligence robot, or the like, or any combination thereof.

The terms “passenger,” “requester,” “requestor,” “service requester,” “service requestor” and “customer” in the present disclosure are used interchangeably to refer to an individual, an entity, or a tool that may request or order a service. Also, the terms “driver,” “provider,” “service provider,” and “supplier” in the present disclosure are used interchangeably to refer to an individual, an entity, or a tool that may provide a service or facilitate the providing of the service. The term “user” in the present disclosure may refer to an individual, an entity, or a tool that may request a service, order a service, provide a service, or facilitate the providing of the service. For example, the user may be a passenger, a driver, an operator, or the like, or any combination thereof. In the present disclosure, terms “passenger” and “passenger terminal” may be used interchangeably, and terms “driver” and “driver terminal” may be used interchangeably.

The terms “service,” “request,” and “service request” in the present disclosure are used interchangeably to refer to a request that may be initiated by a passenger, a requester, a service requester, a customer, a driver, a provider, a service provider, a supplier, or the like, or any combination thereof. The service request may be accepted by any one of a passenger, a requester, a service requester, a customer, a driver, a provider, a service provider, or a supplier. The service request may be chargeable or free.

The positioning technology used in the present disclosure may be based on a global positioning system (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a compass navigation system (COMPASS), a Galileo positioning system, a quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS), a wireless fidelity (WiFi) positioning technology, or the like, or any combination thereof. One or more of the above positioning systems may be used interchangeably in the present disclosure.

An aspect of the present disclosure relates to online systems and methods for naming a pickup location of an order. The system may first obtain a location pair from a terminal or a storage associated with a service requester and then recall a number of point of interests (POIs) related to the location pair. The system may also obtain a trained naming model for naming a pickup location and determine one or more features for each of POIs. The system may further determine a score for each of the POIs based on the one or more features of each of POIs and rank the POIs based on the scores. The system may also determine a final POI from the POIs based on the ranking and determine the name of pickup location based on the final POI.

It should be noted that online on-demand transportation service, such as online taxi-hailing including taxi hailing combination services, is a new form of service rooted only in post-Internet era. It provides technical solutions to users and service providers that could raise only in post-Internet era. In the pre-Internet era, when a user hails a taxi on the street, the taxi request and acceptance occur only between the passenger and one taxi driver that sees the passenger. If the passenger hails a taxi through a telephone call, the service request and acceptance may occur only between the passenger and one service provider (e.g., one taxi company or agent). Online taxi, however, allows a user of the service to real-time and automatic distribute a service request to a vast number of individual service providers (e.g., taxi) distance away from the user. It also allows a plurality of service providers to respond to the service request simultaneously and in real-time. Therefore, through the Internet, the online on-demand transportation systems may provide a much more efficient transaction platform for the users and the service providers that may never meet in a traditional pre-Internet transportation service system. When the system receives an order from passenger, the system may name the pickup location of the order. According to the name of the pickup location, the driver may pick up the passenger more easily.

For example, when a service requester terminal 130 processes a task, such as making a determination, identifying or selecting an object, the requester terminal 130 may operate logic circuits in its processor to perform such task. When the service requester terminal 130 transmits out a service request to the server 110, a processor of the service requester terminal 130 may generate electrical signals encoding the request. The processor of the service requester terminal 130 may then transmit the electrical signals to an output port. If the service requester terminal 130 communicates with the server 110 via a wired network, the output port may be physically connected to a cable, which further transmit the electrical signal to an input port of the server 110. If the service requester terminal 130 communicates with the server 110 via a wireless network, the output port of the service requester terminal 130 may be one or more antennas, which convert the electrical signal to electromagnetic signal. Similarly, a service provider terminal 140 may process a task through operation of logic circuits in its processor, and receive an instruction and/or service request from the server 110 via electrical signal or electromagnet signals. Within an electronic device, such as the service requester terminal 130, the service provider terminal 140, and/or the server 110, when a processor thereof processes an instruction, transmits out an instruction, and/or performs an action, the instruction and/or action is conducted via electrical signals. For example, when the processor retrieves or saves data from a storage medium, it may transmit out electrical signals to a read/write device of the storage medium, which may read or write structured data in the storage medium. The structured data may be transmitted to the processor in the form of electrical signals via a bus of the electronic device. Here, an electrical signal may refer to one electrical signal, a series of electrical signals, and/or a plurality of discrete electrical signals.

The training module 431 may determine a desired output based on the plurality of training samples. In some embodiments, the desired output of a training sample may be the historical pickup location name of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. The training module 431 may train the preliminary naming model to minimize a loss function. The loss function may indicate a difference between the desired output and the actual output determined by the preliminary naming model. A training sample may have an actual score of the actual output and a desired score of the desired output. The actual score and the desired score may be the same or different. The loss function may be a sum of the absolute differences between the actual score and the desired score for each of the training samples. Specifically, when the actual output is the same as the desired output, the loss function is 0. The minimization of the loss function may be iterative. The iteration of the minimization of the loss function may end when the value of the loss function is less than a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold may be set based on various factors, including a number of the training samples, the accuracy level of the model, etc. The training module 431 may iteratively adjust the initial parameters of the preliminary naming model during the minimization of the loss function. At the end of the minimization of the loss function, the training module 431 may determine more than one trained parameter and the trained naming model.

In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may determine historical order information related to a historical order. In some embodiments, the server 110 may access the storage 150 and/or the storage medium (e.g., the ROM 230, the RAM 240) to obtain the historical order. The historical order information may include historical location data, historical final pickup location data, historical recommended pickup location data, a historical pickup location name, or the like, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the historical location data may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical location. The historical final pickup location data may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical final pickup location. The historical recommended pickup location data may include may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical recommended pickup location. The historical location may be a location of a requester terminal 130 where the user initiated the historical order via the requester terminal 130. The historical final pickup location may be a final location that the user chose to get on board via the requester terminal 130. The historical recommended pickup location may be a location generated by the on-demand service system 100 as a historical recommended pickup location related to the historical order. The historical pickup location name may be name of the historical final pickup location of the historical order.

The training sample determination module 421 may map the reference POI with the historical order information. The training sample determination module may access the storage 150 to obtain the reference POI from the target POI database. The reference POIs may have one or more attributes, including a name of the reference POI (e.g., Peking University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital), a category of the reference POI (e.g., a school, a hospital, a gate, a transportation station, a shop, etc.), an address (e.g., No. 9 Xuesen Road, Gaoxin District, Suzhou), coordinates (e.g., latitude coordinate and longitude coordinate), a zip code (e.g., 100000), a description, or the like, or the combination thereof. The training sample determination module 421 may map the reference POI with the historical order information based on an attribute of the reference POI. In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may map the historical order information to the reference POI based on the similarity of the name of the reference POI and the historical pickup location name of the historical order. The similarity of the name may be indicated by the number of same words included in the reference POI and the historical pickup location name. For example, if the similarity of the name of the reference POI (for example, POI A) and the historical pickup location name of the historical order (for example, order A) exceeds 50%, the training sample determination module 421 may map POI A with the historical order information of order A.

The training sample determination module 421 may determine one or more reference features of the reference POI based on the historical order information mapped with the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include distance feature data representing a distance between the pickup location and the reference POI. The training sample determination module 421 may determine a distance (e.g., Euclidean distance) between the reference POI and the historical final pickup location of a historical order mapped with the reference POI, as the distance feature data of the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include historical order amount feature data. For example, the training sample determination module 421 may determine the number of historical orders in which the name of the reference POI was used as the historical pickup location name, as the historical order amount feature data of the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference feature of the reference POI may include attribute feature data. For example, if the name of the reference POI contains certain word, such as “gate,” “station,” the training sample determination module 421 may extract the certain word as the attribute feature data. As another example, if the reference POI is a landmark, such as a sculpture, a shop (e.g., KFC™, McDonald's™), a bus station, a subway station, etc., the training sample determination module 421 may extract such attribute of the reference POI as the attribute feature data.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include relocation behavior feature data. The relocation behavior may indicate that in a historical order, a user selected a reference POI, other than the historical recommended pickup location as the historical final pickup location. For example, for a historical order A, the historical recommended pickup location is location A, the historical final pickup location is B; thus the training sample determination module 421 may determine relocation behavior feature data for the POI mapped with the order A. The training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data in accordance with operations described in connection with FIG. 8.

The training sample determination module 421 may generate a training sample based on one or more reference features of the reference POI and the historical order information mapped with the reference POI. For example, the training sample may include the one or more reference features of the reference POI and an annotation pair of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. The annotation pair may include the historical location data, the historical final pickup location data, and the historical pickup location name of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. In some embodiments, in a training sample, the name of the reference POI and the historical pickup location name of the annotation pair may be the same, or with a similarity beyond a threshold (e.g., 50%).

In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may determine whether a training sample is a positive sample or a negative sample based on the historical order amount feature. The training sample determination module 421 may determine a training sample with higher historical order amount feature as the positive sample, and determine a training sample with lower historical order amount feature as the negative sample. For example, there are three training samples, sample A, sample B, and sample C. The historical final pickup location of all the three training samples are the same, which means that different users chose different reference POIs as the historical pickup location names for same historical final pickup location. The historical order amount feature data of sample A is 9, and the historical order amount feature data of sample B is 3, and the historical order amount feature data of sample C is 2. The training sample determination module 421 may determine the sample A as the positive sample, and determine sample B and sample C as negative samples.

In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may obtain historical final pickup location data. In some embodiments, the historical final pickup location data may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical final pickup location, a link to the historical final pickup location, or the like, or any combination thereof. The historical final pickup location may refer to a pickup location that is finally used by a user in a historical order. In some embodiments, the historical final pickup location data may correspond to one or more historical orders of the same user. Alternatively or additionally, the historical final pickup location data may correspond to one or more historical orders of different users. The one or more historical orders may include all historical orders during a period. The period may be predetermined according to specific conditions, e.g., one week, one month, a quarter, half a year, a year.

The training sample determination module 421 may obtain historical recommended pickup location data. In some embodiments, the historical recommended pickup location data may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical recommended pickup location, a link to the historical recommended pickup location, or the like, or any combination thereof. The historical recommended pickup location may refer to a pickup location recommended by the on-demand service system 100 corresponding to one or more historical orders. In some embodiments, for a historical order, the on-demand service system 100 may recommend one or more pickup locations to a user according to a historical location data of the user. For example, the historical location data of the user may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical location.

The training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data based on the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data. The training sample determination module 421 may compare the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data. If the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data are different (i.e., a user selected a reference POI, other than the historical recommended pickup location as the historical final pickup location), the training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data for the reference POI. For example, the relocation behavior feature data may be “0,” representing that in a historical order mapped with a reference POI, the historical final pickup location is the historical recommended pickup location. As another example, the relocation behavior feature data may be “1,” representing that in a historical order mapped with a reference POI, the historical final pickup location is the reference POI instead of the historical recommended pickup location.

In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may obtain a preliminary POI database from the storage 150. The preliminary POI database may include a plurality of reference POIs. The plurality of reference POIs may be road intersections, bus stations, subway stations, scenic spots, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, or the like, or any combination thereof. The reference POI may have one or more attributes, including a name (e.g., Peking University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital), a category (e.g., school, firm, hospital, gate, transportation station, shop, road, etc.), an address (e.g., No. 9 Xuesen Road, Gaoxin District, Suzhou), coordinates (e.g., latitude coordinate and longitude coordinate), a zip code (e.g., 100000), a description, or the like, or the combination thereof.

The target database determination module 441 may determine the target POI database based on an attribute of the reference POI. In the event that not every reference POI in the preliminary POI database is suited for determining the name of the pickup location, one or more reference POIs in the preliminary POI database may be modified or deleted from the preliminary POI database. For example, some reference POI may be a company in a building that hosts a number of companies. As another example, some reference POI may be too general for the driver to find, such as a POI with the name of “Times Square,” which do not show the exact position of the location. The target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI of which name contains a certain word (e.g., “unit,” “room,” “hall,” “department” “stairway,” etc.) in the preliminary POI database. In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI of which address is in a building. In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI that belongs to a certain category (e.g., companies, roads).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an exemplary process 500 for determining a name of a pickup location according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 500 for determining the name of the pickup location may be implemented in the on-demand service system 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the process 500 may be implemented as one or more sets of instructions stored in storage 150 and called and/or executed by the processing engine 112 or the processor 220. In some embodiments, the process 500 may be implemented in a user terminal and/or a server.

In 510, the location obtaining module 410 may obtain a location pair. The location pair may include a current location and a pickup location. The current location may be a location where the user initiates the order via the requester terminal 130. In some embodiments, the current location may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the current location. In some embodiments, the current location may be the location of the requester terminal 130 when the user initiates the order via the requester terminal 130.

The pickup location may be a location that the user wants to be picked up by the service provider. The pickup location may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the pickup location. In some embodiments, the pickup location may be determined by the on-demand service system 100 as a recommended pickup location, which may be transmitted to the requester terminal 130 and provider terminal 140. The on-demand service system 100 may determine the recommended pickup location by transmitting one or more historical pickup locations of one or more historical orders to the user. For example, the on-demand service system 100 may obtain one or more historical orders that are initiated at the location close to the user's current location and determine historical pickup location of the historical order as the recommended pickup location for the user. Alternatively, the pickup location may be inputted by the user via the requester terminal 130. Alternatively, the pickup location may the current location of the user described above.

In 520, the preliminary POI determination module 420 may determine one or more preliminary points of interest (POIs) (e.g., a first preliminary POI and a second preliminary POI) based on the location pair and a target POI database. In some embodiments, the target POI database may be generated according to process 900 illustrated in FIG. 9 and described in detail below. In some embodiment, the preliminary POI determination module 420 may determine a first preliminary POI and a second preliminary POI that are within a first distance (e.g., 100 meters) from the current location and within a second distance (e.g., 80 meters) from the pickup location.

In 530, the feature extraction module 430 may determine a feature of the first preliminary POI based on the first preliminary POI and the location pair. For example, the feature extraction module 430 may determine the feature of the first preliminary POI based on the distance between the pickup location and the first preliminary POI. Merely by way of example, the feature may include an attribute feature of the first preliminary POI (such as a bus station, a crossroad, etc.), a distance feature representing distance between the pickup location and the first preliminary POI, a historical order amount feature (e.g., number of historical orders that using the first preliminary POI as the pickup location), a relocation behavior feature of historical orders, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the feature extraction module 430 may obtain one or more reference features of the reference POI determined from the storage 150 as the feature of the first preliminary POI.

In 540, the feature extraction module 430 may determine a feature of the second preliminary POI based on the second preliminary POI and the location pair. For example, the feature extraction module 430 may determine the feature of the second preliminary POI based on the distance between the pickup location and the second preliminary POI. In some embodiments, the feature extraction module 430 may obtain one or more reference features of the reference POI from the storage 150 as the feature of the second preliminary POI.

In 550, the model obtaining module 440 may obtain a trained naming model for naming a pickup location. The trained naming model for naming the pickup location may include a machine learning model. In some embodiments, the trained naming model may include one or more classifiers. Each of the classifiers may have a trained parameter related to the weight of the classifier. The trained naming module may use the location pair and the feature of the preliminary POI as the input and generate a score for the preliminary POI as the output of the trained naming module based on the one or more classifiers and trained parameters related the weight of the classifiers.

In some embodiments, the trained naming model for naming the pickup location may be generated and/or trained in advance, and stored in a storage device (e.g., the storage 150). The processor 220 may obtain the trained naming model from the storage device. Alternatively or additionally, the trained naming model for naming the pickup location can be trained and/or updated in the real time.

The trained naming model for naming the pickup location may be trained using one or more machine learning techniques. In some embodiments, the trained naming model may include a Ranking Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, a Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) model, a LambdaMART model, an adaptive boosting model, a recurrent neural network model, a convolutional network model, a hidden Markov model, a perceptron neural network model, a Hopfield network model, a self-organizing map (SOM), or a learning vector quantization (LVQ), or the like, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the trained naming model may be generated by performing one or more operations described in connection with FIG. 6.

In 560, the model obtaining module 440 may determine a first score for the first preliminary POI based on the feature of the first preliminary POI and the trained naming model. The model obtaining module 440 may use the location pair and the feature of the first preliminary POI as the input of the trained naming model, and determine a first score for the first preliminary POI as the output of the trained naming model. For example, the model obtaining module 440 may determine the location pair and the feature of the first preliminary POI as the input of the trained naming model. The one or more classifiers may generate a first score to the first preliminary POI as the output of the trained naming model based on the location pair and the feature of the first preliminary POI.

In 570, the model obtaining module 440 may determine a second score for the second preliminary POI based on the feature of the second preliminary POI and the trained naming model. The model obtaining module 440 may use the location pair and the feature of the second preliminary POI as the input, and determine a second score for second preliminary POI as the output of the trained naming model. For example, the model obtaining module 440 may determine the location pair and the feature of the second preliminary POI as the input of the trained naming model. The one or more classifiers may generate a second score to the second preliminary POI as the output of the trained naming model based on the location pair and the feature of the second preliminary POI.

In 580, the naming module 450 may determine a final POI based on the first score and the second score. The naming module 450 may rank the first preliminary POI and the second preliminary POI based on the first score and the second score. The naming module 450 may also determine a final POI based on the rank. For example, the naming module 450 may compare the first score and the second score, and determine the preliminary POI with the higher score as the final POI.

In 590, the naming module 450 may determine a name of the pickup location based on the final POI. For example, the naming module 450 may obtain the name of the final POI (e.g., based on the information related to the final POI obtained from the target POI database) and assign the name of the final POI to the name of the pickup location.

The operations of the process 500 described herein are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. In some embodiments, the process 500 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. For example, in 520, the preliminary POI determination module 420 may determine a third preliminary POI based on the location pair and a target POI database. After 540 and before 550, the feature extraction module 430 may determine a feature of the third preliminary POI based on the first preliminary POI and the location pair. After 570 and before 580, the model obtaining module 440 may determine a third score for the third preliminary POI based on the feature of the third preliminary POI and the trained naming model. At 580, the naming module 450 may determine a final POI based on the first score, the second score, and the third score (e.g., selecting the preliminary POI with the highest score). Additionally, the order in which the operations of the process 500 as illustrated in FIG. 5 and described below is not intended to be limiting. For example, the order of 530 and 540 may be reverse, and the order of 560 and 570 may be reverse.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an exemplary process 600 for determining a trained model for determining a trained naming model according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 600 for determining a trained naming model may be implemented in the on-demand service system 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the process 600 may be implemented as one or more sets of instructions stored in storage 150 and called and/or executed by the processing engine 113 or the processor 220. Alternatively or additionally, the process 600 may be implemented in a user terminal and/or a server.

The operations of the illustrated process 600 described herein are intended to be illustrative and not limiting.

In 610, the preliminary model obtaining module 411 may obtain a preliminary naming model. In some embodiments, the preliminary naming model may include one or more classifiers. Each of the classifiers may have an initial parameter related to the weight of the classifier.

The preliminary naming model may include a Ranking Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, a Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) model, a LambdaMART model, an adaptive boosting model, a recurrent neural network model, a convolutional network model, a hidden Markov model, a perceptron neural network model, a Hopfield network model, a self-organizing map (SOM), or a learning vector quantization (LVQ), or the like, or any combination thereof.

In 620, the training sample determination module 421 may determine a plurality of training samples. The plurality of training samples may include one or more reference features of the reference POI and an annotation pair of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. The annotation pair may include historical location data, historical final pickup location data, and historical pickup location name of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. In some embodiments, the plurality of training samples may include positive samples and/or negative samples. Besides, the training sample determination module 421 may determine whether a training sample is a positive sample or a negative sample. In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of training samples may be generated according process 700 illustrated in FIG. 7 and described below.

In 630, the training module 431 may determine the trained naming model by training the preliminary naming model with the plurality of training samples. The preliminary naming model may take the plurality of training samples as the input and determine one or more actual scores for one or more reference POIs as the actual output based on the one or more classifiers. The reference POIs may have one or more attributes, including a name of the reference POI (e.g., Peking University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital), a category of the reference POI (e.g., a school, a hospital, a gate, a transportation station, a shop, etc.), an address (e.g., No. 9 Xuesen Road, Gaoxin District, Suzhou), coordinates (e.g., latitude coordinate and longitude coordinate), a zip code (e.g., 100000), a description, or the like, or the combination thereof. Each of the one or more classifiers may have an initial parameter related to the weight of the classifier. The initial parameter related to the weight of the classifier may be adjusted based on the positive and/or the negative samples.

The training module 431 may determine a desired output based on the plurality of training samples. In some embodiments, the desired output of a training sample may be the historical pickup location name of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. The training module 431 may train the preliminary naming model to minimize a loss function. The loss function may indicate a difference between the desired output and the actual output determined by the preliminary naming model. A training sample may have an actual score of the actual output and a desired score of the desired output. The actual score and the desired score may be the same or different. The loss function may be a sum of the absolute differences between the actual score and the desired score for each of the training samples. Specifically, when the actual output is the same as the desired output, the loss function is 0. The minimization of the loss function may be iterative. The iteration of the minimization of the loss function may end when the value of the loss function is less than a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold may be set based on various factors, including a number of the training samples, the accuracy level of the model, etc. The training module 431 may iteratively adjust the initial parameters of the preliminary naming model during the minimization of the loss function. At the end of the minimization of the loss function, the training module 431 may determine more than one trained parameter and the trained naming model.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an exemplary process 700 for determining a training sample according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 700 for determining a training sample may be implemented in the on-demand service system 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the process 700 may be implemented as one or more sets of instructions stored in storage 150 and called and/or executed by the processing engine 113 or the processor 220. Alternatively or additionally, the process 700 may be implemented in a user terminal and/or a server. The operations of the illustrated process 700 described herein are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. In some embodiments, the process 700 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. Additionally, the order in which the operations of the process 700 as illustrated in FIG. 7 and described herein is not intended to be limiting.

In 710, the training sample determination module 421 may determine historical order information related to a historical order. In some embodiments, the server 110 may access the storage 150 and/or the storage medium (e.g., the ROM 230, the RAM 240) to obtain the historical order. The historical order information may include historical location data, historical final pickup location data, historical recommended pickup location data, a historical pickup location name, or the like, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the historical location data may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical location. The historical final pickup location data may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical final pickup location. The historical recommended pickup location data may include may include longitude data and/or latitude data of the historical recommended pickup location. The historical location may be a location of a requester terminal 130 where the user initiated the historical order via the requester terminal 130. The historical final pickup location may be a final location that the user chose to get on board via the requester terminal 130. The historical recommended pickup location may be a location generated by the on-demand service system 100 as a historical recommended pickup location related to the historical order. The historical pickup location name may be name of the historical final pickup location of the historical order.

In 720, the training sample determination module 421 may map the reference POI with the historical order information. The training sample determination module may access the storage 150 to obtain the reference POI from the target POI database. The reference POIs may have one or more attributes, including a name of the reference POI (e.g., Peking University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital), a category of the reference POI (e.g., a school, a hospital, a gate, a transportation station, a shop, etc.), an address (e.g., No. 9 Xuesen Road, Gaoxin District, Suzhou), coordinates (e.g., latitude coordinate and longitude coordinate), a zip code (e.g., 100000), a description, or the like, or the combination thereof. The training sample determination module 421 may map the reference POI with the historical order information based on an attribute of the reference POI. In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may map the historical order information to the reference POI based on the similarity of the name of the reference POI and the historical pickup location name of the historical order. The similarity of the name may be indicated by the number of same words included in the reference POI and the historical pickup location name. For example, if the similarity of the name of the reference POI (for example, POI A) and the historical pickup location name of the historical order (for example, order A) exceeds 50%, the training sample determination module 421 may map POI A with the historical order information of order A.

In step 730, the training sample determination module 421 may determine one or more reference features of the reference POI based on the historical order information mapped with the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include distance feature data representing a distance between the pickup location and the reference POI. The training sample determination module 421 may determine a distance (e.g., Euclidean distance) between the reference POI and the historical final pickup location of a historical order mapped with the reference POI, as the distance feature data of the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include historical order amount feature data. For example, the training sample determination module 421 may determine the number of historical orders in which the name of the reference POI was used as the historical pickup location name, as the historical order amount feature data of the reference POI.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference feature of the reference POI may include attribute feature data. For example, if the name of the reference POI contains certain word, such as “gate,” “station,” the training sample determination module 421 may extract the certain word as the attribute feature data. As another example, if the reference POI is a landmark, such as a sculpture, a shop (e.g., KFC™, McDonald's), a bus station, a subway station, etc., the training sample determination module 421 may extract such attribute of the reference POI as the attribute feature data.

In some embodiments, the one or more reference features of the reference POI may include relocation behavior feature data. The relocation behavior may indicate that in a historical order, a user selected a reference POI, other than the historical recommended pickup location as the historical final pickup location. For example, for a historical order A, the historical recommended pickup location is location A, the historical final pickup location is B; thus the training sample determination module 421 may determine relocation behavior feature data for the POI mapped with the order A. The training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data in accordance with operations described in connection with FIG. 8.

In 740, the training sample determination module 421 may generate a training sample based on one or more reference features of the reference POI and the historical order information mapped with the reference POI. For example, the training sample may include the one or more reference features of the reference POI and an annotation pair of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. The annotation pair may include the historical location data, the historical final pickup location data, and the historical pickup location name of the historical order mapped with the reference POI. In some embodiments, in a training sample, the name of the reference POI and the historical pickup location name of the annotation pair may be the same, or with a similarity beyond a threshold (e.g., 50%).

In some embodiments, the training sample determination module 421 may determine whether a training sample is a positive sample or a negative sample based on the historical order amount feature. The training sample determination module 421 may determine a training sample with higher historical order amount feature as the positive sample, and determine a training sample with lower historical order amount feature as the negative sample. For example, there are three training samples, sample A, sample B, and sample C. The historical final pickup location of all the three training samples are the same, which means that different users chose different reference POIs as the historical pickup location names for same historical final pickup location. The historical order amount feature data of sample A is 9, and the historical order amount feature data of sample B is 3, and the historical order amount feature data of sample C is 2. The training sample determination module 421 may determine the sample A as the positive sample, and determine sample B and sample C as negative samples.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an exemplary process 800 for determining relocation behavior feature data according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 800 for determining relocation behavior feature data according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented in the on-demand service system 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the process 800 may be implemented as one or more sets of instructions stored in storage 150 and called and/or executed by the processing engine 113. Alternatively or additionally, the process 800 may be implemented in a user terminal and/or a server.

The operations of the illustrated process 800 described herein are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. In some embodiments, the process 800 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed. Additionally, the order in which the operations of the process 800 as illustrated in FIG. 8 and described herein is not intended to be limiting.

In 810, the training sample determination module 421 may obtain historical final pickup location data. In some embodiments, the historical final pickup location data may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical final pickup location, a link to the historical final pickup location, or the like, or any combination thereof. The historical final pickup location may refer to a pickup location that is finally used by a user in a historical order. In some embodiments, the historical final pickup location data may correspond to one or more historical orders of the same user. Alternatively or additionally, the historical final pickup location data may correspond to one or more historical orders of different users. The one or more historical orders may include all historical orders during a period. The period may be predetermined according to specific conditions, e.g., one week, one month, a quarter, half a year, a year.

In 820, the training sample determination module 421 may obtain historical recommended pickup location data. In some embodiments, the historical recommended pickup location data may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical recommended pickup location, a link to the historical recommended pickup location, or the like, or any combination thereof. The historical recommended pickup location may refer to a pickup location recommended by the on-demand service system 100 corresponding to one or more historical orders. In some embodiments, for a historical order, the on-demand service system 100 may recommend one or more pickup locations to a user according to a historical location data of the user. For example, the historical location data of the user may include longitude and/or latitude information of the historical location.

In 830, the training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data based on the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data. The training sample determination module 421 may compare the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data. If the historical final pickup location data and the historical recommended pickup location data are different (i.e., a user selected a reference POI, other than the historical recommended pickup location as the historical final pickup location), the training sample determination module 421 may determine the relocation behavior feature data for the reference POI. For example, the relocation behavior feature data may be “0,” representing that in a historical order mapped with a reference POI, the historical final pickup location is the historical recommended pickup location. As another example, the relocation behavior feature data may be “1,” representing that in a historical order mapped with a reference POI, the historical final pickup location is the reference POI instead of the historical recommended pickup location.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an exemplary process 900 for determining a target POI database according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the process 900 for determining a target POI database according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented in the on-demand service system 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, the process 900 may be implemented as one or more sets of instructions stored in storage 150 and called and/or executed by the processing engine 113 or the processor 220. Alternatively or additionally, the process 900 may be implemented in a user terminal and/or a server.

The operations of the illustrated process 900 described herein are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. In some embodiments, the process 900 may be accomplished with one or more additional operations not described, and/or without one or more of the operations discussed.

In 910, the target database determination module 441 may obtain a preliminary POI database from the storage 150. The preliminary POI database may include a plurality of reference POIs. The plurality of reference POIs may be road intersections, bus stations, subway stations, scenic spots, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, or the like, or any combination thereof. The reference POI may have one or more attributes, including a name (e.g., Peking University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital), a category (e.g., school, firm, hospital, gate, transportation station, shop, road, etc.), an address (e.g., No. 9 Xuesen Road, Gaoxin District, Suzhou), coordinates (e.g., latitude coordinate and longitude coordinate), a zip code (e.g., 100000), a description, or the like, or the combination thereof.

In 920, the target database determination module 441 may determine the target POI database based on an attribute of the reference POI. In the event that not every reference POI in the preliminary POI database is suited for determining the name of the pickup location, one or more reference POIs in the preliminary POI database may be modified or deleted from the preliminary POI database. For example, some reference POI may be a company in a building that hosts a number of companies. As another example, some reference POI may be too general for the driver to find, such as a POI with the name of “Times Square,” which do not show the exact position of the location. The target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI of which name contains a certain word (e.g., “unit,” “room,” “hall,” “department” “stairway,” etc.) in the preliminary POI database. In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI of which address is in a building. In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may determine a target reference POI by deleting the reference POI that belongs to a certain category (e.g., companies, roads)

In some embodiments, the target database determination module 441 may determine the target POI database based, at least in part, on the historical order information. If a reference POI is the only POI in an area, the target database determination module 441 may keep the reference POI and determine the target reference POI database including such reference POI, even if the reference POI should be deleted based on the attribute.
