Applying Reinforcement Learning to Hotel Ranking at Ctrip: Challenges, Solutions, and Preliminary Results

This article examines the limitations of traditional learning‑to‑rank for Ctrip hotel sorting, introduces reinforcement learning as a remedy, outlines three progressive implementation plans (A, B, C) with algorithm choices and engineering trade‑offs, and presents early experimental findings that demonstrate RL's potential to improve conversion rates.
