中文简介:
计算广告中最具挑战性的问题之一是在线广告拍卖中竞价的点击率和转化率的预测。在以前的方法中没有解决的问题是存在高度不均匀的错误预测代价。虽然对于模型评估,这些成本已经通过最近提出的商业意识线下指标考虑到了——比如衡量对广告商利润影响的效用指标——但在训练模型本身时却不是这样。在本文中,为了弥补差距,我们正式分析了优化效用度量和日志损失之间的关系,这被认为是转换建模中最先进的方法之一。我们的分析激发了用预测结果的业务价值来加权日志损失的想法。我们提出并分析了一个新的成本加权方案,并表明可以实现离线和在线性能的显著收益。
课程简介: One of the most challenging problems in computational advertising is the prediction of click-through and conversion rates for bidding in online advertising auctions. An unaddressed problem in previous approaches is the existence of highly non-uniform misprediction costs. While for model evaluation these costs have been taken into account through recently proposed business-aware offline metrics – such as the Utility metric which measures the impact on advertiser profit – this is not the case when training the models themselves. In this paper, to bridge the gap, we formally analyze the relationship between optimizing the Utility metric and the log loss, which is considered as one of the state-of-the-art approaches in conversion modeling. Our analysis motivates the idea of weighting the log loss with the business value of the predicted outcome. We present and analyze a new cost weighting scheme and show that significant gains in offline and online performance can be achieved.
