It seems to be working as designed:

"experiences that were clicked but not booked (which we treated as negative labels)"

Too bad that they don't provide any reasoning for this labelling. Also it isn't clear to me over which time span they were looking at individuals to make the label decision, i.e. are they considering sessions or just single clicks with subsequent bookings?
