Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) is used in this work in order to perform the optimization of several advertisement blocks of text. The advertisement texts follow a format similar to the one used in a technique called Article Spinning. This format allows an IEC algorithm to evolve the text, using words and phrases as variable parts which change according to the subjective evaluation of people interacting with the algorithm. After several generations, the IEC algorithm provides a version of the advertisement text that, in theory, should exhibit an increased performance, according to the subjective evaluation function it was evolved with. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the texts, these are compared against a version determined by an expert in a field related to marketing. For this comparison, three tests are performed: recall, recognition, and persuasion tests. The results obtained show that IEC could effectively be used to increase the impact of an advertisement text.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
