????Airbnb軟件工程師蘇拉比?古普塔

????蘇拉比?古普塔非常喜歡旅行，經(jīng)常替親朋好友規(guī)劃旅行線路。作為斯坦福大學(xué)（Stanford University）計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)的研究生，她對摘要的藝術(shù)非常著迷——僅僅短短數(shù)語就能盡得其要，而無需閱讀整篇文字。早先古普塔在谷歌(Google)工作期間就曾研究過租房服務(wù)公司Airbnb。她對Airbnb的數(shù)據(jù)所能提供的可能性很感興趣，于是她主動聯(lián)系了Airbnb跳槽到這家公司。短短四個月后，她就顯著改進(jìn)了Airbnb的搜索引擎?，F(xiàn)在古普塔正在試圖壓縮Airbnb的所有列表，創(chuàng)建摘要，以便用戶可以迅速了解不同城市的風(fēng)情。她表示：“總的目標(biāo)就是，當(dāng)人們旅行時，我們怎樣把他們吸引到Airbnb來？當(dāng)他們想去旅行的時候，我們怎樣讓他們獲得我們的信息？”——Shalene Gupta

????Surabhi Gupta, Software Engineer, Airbnb

????Surabhi Gupta has always loved to travel, and regularly plans trips for her friends and family. As a graduate student in computer science at Stanford University, she became fascinated by the art of summarization: extracting meaning from text without actually reading the text. Gupta was working at Google when she started researching a trip using Airbnb, the room rental service. Fascinated by the possibilities their data offered, she contacted them and landed a job. Four months later, she had overhauled and improved their search engines. Today, she's working on condensing all of Airbnb’s listings to create summaries so users can quickly understand different cities’ vibes. “The overall goal," she says, "is: how do we get people to come to Airbnb when they travel? And how do we get them information when they want to travel?" —Shalene Gupta
