ALIGN-HOLD: Experience Alignment for Real-Time Hold Control in Ride-Hailing Matching at DiDi
Researchers from DiDi propose ALIGN-HOLD, a method for deciding when a ride-hailing platform should temporarily hold a driver-order pair instead of matching it immediately. Delaying matches can let the system wait for better options and improve outcomes for both passengers and drivers. The work targets large-scale, real-time matching systems where such deferral decisions carry significant operational weight.
