Abstract
A method or a system for using machine learning to dynamically boost order delivery time. The system receives an order associated with a delivery time and a compensation value. The system applies a machine-learning model to an order to predict an amount of lateness time that an order will be fulfilled late. The system then determines a lateness value based in part on the predicted amount of lateness time. The lateness value indicates a penalty caused by the predicted amount of lateness time. For each of a plurality of proposed boost amounts for the compensation value, the system determines an uplift, indicating a reduction of the lateness value caused by the boost amount. The system then selects a boost amount from the plurality of boost amounts based in part on the determined uplifts, causing the order to be accepted sooner to thereby boost order delivery time.
