I. INTRODUCTION
It is imperative to use computers to realize short-term
rental management of houses. For homeowners or
intermediaries, using computers to support enterprises to Fig. 1. NET Framework framework

addition to considering the geographical location, the listing
matching also needs to comprehensively consider other
characteristics such as the price and area of the listing. For
string-type features such as listing titles, the similarity is
calculated using edit distance:
