Leading vacation rental company automates ML labeling pipelines with Labelbox to enrich unique property listings
A large vacation rental company faced the challenge of classifying and labeling vast volumes of unstructured listing image data across multiple business units with different formats, and needed to standardize ML infrastructure to run effective data science initiatives at scale while reducing human labeling costs.
After three months, ML pipelines were fully automated with the majority of labels model-generated and accepted by subject matter experts.
Human labeling costs fell to a fraction of their original level, over nine million annotation tasks were completed, and the enriched unique listings collectively earned more than $300 million globally since the start of the pandemic.
