Abstract:
Described herein are example systems and operations for enhancing targeted delivery of online content using action rate lift and/or A/B testing. These examples provide solutions to problems in targeted delivery of online content, such as the problem of not being able to identify audience and/or situational targets mostly or only influenced by the content item or campaign of concern. For example, described herein are solutions that can estimate AR lift associated with a content item, and then distribute the content item or similar content items accordingly. An AR lift model can be used and such a model can use machine learning, A/B testing, and/or statistical analysis.
Abstract:
A computer system that implements a method for optimizing an ad campaign may be configured to receive an online ad display request to display an ad to a viewer and obtain at least three probabilities—a first probability that the ad will receive a positive response from the viewer, a second probability that the ad will receive a neutral response from the viewer, and a third probability that the ad will receive a negative response from the viewer. Additionally, the computer system may also be configured to determine a gain value of displaying the ad; and determine a bidding price associated with the ad request based on the gain value.
Abstract:
A computer system implementing a method for ad realization prediction may be configured to receive a plurality of target realization factors associated with a target ad display opportunity; determine a reference realization probability score of the target ad display opportunity based on a global reference realization probability distribution associated with an ad display realization probability decision tree; using the reference realization probability score, determine an ad realization probability score of the target ad display opportunity according to a piecewise calibrated realization probability function; and return the ad realization probability score.
Abstract:
A demand-side platform (DSP) may bid on advertising opportunities (e.g., provided by a supply-side platform (SSP)) on behalf of an advertiser wishing to place an advertisement, such as part of an advertisement campaign. A target advertisement may be selected based upon various criteria, and a bid for the target advertisement to run during the advertising opportunity is made in a manner that satisfies one or more goals of the advertisement campaign while also being beneficial to the DSP. For example, the target advertisement may be selected from a reduced problem space where merely advertisements corresponding to a target advertising opportunity class are evaluated, where the target opportunity class corresponds to an opportunity class of the advertising opportunity. Win rate modeling data, inventory cost modeling data, user response modeling data, and/or other information may be used to select the target advertisement.
Abstract:
Method, system, and programs for providing content recommendation are disclosed. A first set of candidate content items may be generated based on a user profile, and a second set of candidate items may be generated based on the likelihood that the user will click a corresponding candidate content item in the second set. The candidate content items in the first and second sets may be ranked together using a learning model and presented to the user as content recommendations based on their rankings. The likelihood that the user will click a given candidate content item in the second set may be estimated based on similarities between the given content item and content items related to the given content item. Such a similarity may be computed based on activities performed by users who have viewed both the given content item and a related content item.
Abstract:
Described herein are techniques and systems for online ad campaign pacing. The techniques described herein use budget allocation along with the estimations of bids and response rates. With use of budget allocation, the techniques can use budget pacing to enhance impressions and maximize desired responses, such as desired click-through rates. These techniques focus on enhancing pacing and performance of ad campaigns, such as enhancing performance across distinct and/or unified online ad marketplaces. These techniques are especially useful in the context of a demand-side platform (DSP). In some examples, the techniques assume that impression supply is much larger than advertiser demand for impressions of their ads, so such techniques focus on selecting high performing inventory of ad space. Yet, with such a focus, a smooth or consistent delivery of ads over time is used.
