  • Publication number: 20250104117
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to displaying ads. A generative artificial intelligence (AI) model for creating advertisement assets is obtained, via machine learning, based on training data generated based on online feedback information on previously displayed advertisements. Base advertisement information associated with an advertisement of a product specifying some attributes characterizing the product is received. Using the generative AI model, multiple advertisement assets are created with respect to some attribute of the advertisement. Each advertisement asset is a representation of an attribute. These advertisement assets are used to form different asset combinations, each of which can be used to display the advertisement.

  • Publication number: 20250037171
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for online advertising. Bids are solicited from multiple bidders for an online ad display opportunity. A current value of a budget factor is retrieved and used for computing, for each advertisement corresponding to a respective bid, a wrapper function value based on the current value of the budget factor and a flow type of the advertisement. Based on the wrapper function value for each advertisement, a ranking score is determined and used to rank the advertisements associated with the bids. A winning bid is accordingly selected based on the ranking scores.

  • Publication number: 20240202095
    Abstract: In an example, sets of event information associated with events may be identified. The events may include intentional click events, accidental click events and/or skip events. Accidental click probabilities associated with the accidental click events and/or the skip events may be determined. Machine learning model training may be performed, using the sets of event information associated with the events and labels associated with the events, to generate a first machine learning model. The labels may include second labels associated with the intentional click events and/or third labels associated with the accidental click events and/or the skip events. The second labels may correspond to an intentional click classification. The third labels may be based upon the accidental click probabilities. Click probabilities associated with content items may be determined using the first machine learning model. A content item may be selected for presentation via a client device based upon the click probabilities.

  • Publication number: 20230230125
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to generating an updated model related to advertisement selection. In one example, a request is obtained for updating a model to be utilized for selecting an advertisement. A plurality of copies of the model is generated. The model is pre-selected based on a performance metric related to advertisement selection. Based on each of the plurality of copies, a candidate model is created by modifying one or more parameters of the copy of the model to create a plurality of candidate models. One of the plurality of candidate models is selected based on the performance metric. The steps of generating, creating, and selecting are repeated until a predetermined condition is met. The model is updated with the latest selected candidate model when the predetermined condition is met.

  • Publication number: 20230214882
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to generating combination distributions for ads. Features are computed based on training data associated with ads, each of which has a plurality of attributes. The training data include asset combinations with past performance thereof for each of the ads. Each combination includes multiple assets representing respective attributes of an ad. The features are used in machine learning to obtain an auxiliary model, which is used to generate combination distributions for each ad based on predicted performance for each combination associated with the ad. Such generated combination distributions are sent to an explore/exploit layer (EEL) for a frontend ad serving engine to draw a combination therefrom for an auction winning ad for rendering on a webpage viewed by a user on a user device.

  • Publication number: 20230214880
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to displaying ads. An explore/exploit layer (EEL) is provided at frontend ad serving engine for storing combination distributions with respect to multiple ads. Each ad has multiple attributes. Each attribute can be instantiated using one of multiple assets. The frontend ad serving engine requests a recommended ad for bidding an ad display opportunity in a slot of a webpage viewed by a user on a user device. The recommended ad is one of the multiple ads. When the auction is successful, a combination of assets for the ad is drawn from the combination distributions in EEL and each of the assets instantiates a corresponding attribute of the ad. The combination is transmitted to the user device to render the ad.

  • Publication number: 20230214883
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to generating combination distributions for ads. A prediction model is obtained via machine learning with respect to a criterion. Training data are associated with multiple ads each having multiple attributes, and include combinations with recorded performance for each ad. Each combination has multiple assets representing respective attributes of an ad. Using the prediction model, performance of each combination of each ad can be predicted and used for generating combination distributions for the ads. Such generated combination distributions are then sent to an explore/exploit layer (EEL) at a frontend ad serving engine so that it can draw a combination associated with an auction winning ad for rendering on a webpage viewed by a user on a user device.
