Abstract

Policy-oriented object ranking is of great importance in the field of object recommendation and target retrieval, such as e-commerce recommendation system, financial services and selecting hosts of some large-scale sports events. However, the solution of such problem is often accompanied by the processing of massive high-dimensional data. The typical methods may lead to the phenomenon of over-reliance on historical data as well as ignoring the interactions among indicators. This also causes the ranking results to lose part of the timeliness and sensitivity. We designed Entropy-weighted Synthetic Model (ESM) in order to optimize the defects above. We focus on the case of Olympic Host Country or Region Selection to demonstrate the superiority of our method. We first fulfill calculation of synthetic property weights and differential data of each attribute based on time series of the selected synthetic group. Then we evaluate the weight of each indicator, obtain the comprehensive scores and generate the ranking results of the target countries or regions. Last, we implement Placebo Test to eliminate the effects of Synthetic Control Method (SCM) and validate the robustness of the model with the support of Hypothesis Test. From the perspective of comparing with the results of Difference-in-Difference Model (DID) and Propensity Score Matching (PSM), ESM shows better adaptability and predictability and provide conclusion consistent with professional perspective.
