Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for optimally ranking and indexing accommodation listing information based on a set of constraints corresponding to a travel activity goal input on a client device. In an embodiment, an accommodation management system receives a travel activity goal input by a guest user on a client device with a corresponding set of constraints. Based on the constraints, the accommodation management system determines a set of geographic coordinates corresponding to the travel activity, and further identifies the set of candidate accommodation listings with accommodations within a threshold distance from the geographic coordinates. The accommodation management system filters and ranks the candidate accommodation listings based on the constraints, and sends a recommendation to the guest user for display on the client device which includes one or more of the ranked accommodation listings.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for augmenting a required curriculum of an individual in a nomadic group.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing furnishings for an accommodation based on user preferences. An accommodation management system may retrieve, from a user preference database, minimum user preferences for an accommodation for a subscription accommodation user. The system may query an accommodation listing database for accommodations that meet the minimum user preferences. The system may determine that the accommodation listing database does not have an accommodation that meets the minimum user preferences. The system may reserve an accommodation that is modifiable to meet the minimum user preferences. The system may order automatically, in response to the reserving, furnishings to meet the minimum user preferences.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for connecting similar subscription users. The system may receive a request from a requesting subscription living user to connect to a similar subscription living user. The system may execute a similarity algorithm to identify one or more similar subscription living users. The system may transmit a link to the requesting subscription living user for display on a client device of the requesting subscription living user, the link enabling the requesting subscription living user to contact a similar subscription living user of the one or more similar subscription living users without providing personally identifiable information of the similar subscription living user. The system may connect, in response to an input from the requesting subscription living user to the client device, the requesting subscription living user to the one or more similar subscription living users.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for prompting a user of an accommodation management system to host an accommodation during an event. In an embodiment, the accommodation management system detects an event occurring in a geographic region. The accommodation management system identifies a user in the geographic region and determines an estimated hosting value of the user hosting an accommodation during the event. Responsive to determining the estimated hosting value, the accommodation management system identifies an accommodation listing on a wish list associated with the user based on the estimated hosting value and a reservation criterion of the listing. The accommodation management system outputs a prompt to the user recommending that the user hosts an accommodation during the event based on the identified listing.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for auto-listing a subscription living user's host accommodation. The system may book, for a subscription living user, an accommodation in an accommodation listing database for a travel itinerary. The system may locate, in the accommodation listing database and in response to the booking, a record of a host accommodation of the subscription living user. The system may modify, automatically in response to the locating, a status of the record in the accommodation listing database to be a searchable record. The system may adjust automatically the status of the record in response to the subscription living user making a change in the travel itinerary.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for satisfying a curriculum during nomadic travel. In an embodiment, an accommodation management system receives, from a client device, information describing a desired curriculum scope and a time period. The system optimizes a curriculum based on subjects mapped from the curriculum scope and the time period. The system maps the curriculum to destinations and determines a set of geographic regions including the destinations. The system determines a set of geographic regions including the destinations. For each geographic region, the system retrieves, from a listing database, listing available in the geographic region during a subset of the time period. The system ranks the retrieved listings for each geographic region based on the destinations and transmits, for display on a user interface at the client device, an accommodation recommendation including listings in one or more of the geographic regions.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing specific items in an accommodation for a user.

Abstract: A methodology to protect private data when a user wishes to publicly release some data about himself, which is can be correlated with his private data. Specifically, the method and apparatus teach comparing public data with survey data having public data and associated private data. A joint probability distribution is performed to predict a private data wherein said prediction has a certain probability. At least one of said public data is altered or deleted in response to said probability exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A methodology to protect private data when a user wishes to publicly release some data about himself, which is correlated with his private data. Specifically, the method and apparatus teach combining a plurality of public data into a plurality of data clusters in response to the combined public data having similar attributes. The generated clusters are then processed to predict a private data wherein said prediction has a certain probability. At least one of said public data is altered or deleted in response to said probability exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Various implementations provide one or more recommendations for content, for example, to a user, based on one or more context categories. In one particular implementation, an ordered set of options is provided for a context category related to content selection. The ordered set of options for the context category is ordered based on a previously determined option for one or more other context categories. An ordered set of options is provided for one or more additional context categories related to content selection. The ordered set of options for the one or more additional context categories is ordered based on an identification of an option from the provided options for the context category. In various implementations, a user provides a selection for the one or more other context categories, the context category, and/or the one or more additional context categories.
