Advertisement recommendation based on personal interests and ad push fairness

Abstract

Purpose Online advertisement brings huge revenue to many websites. There are many types of online advertisement; this paper aims to focus on the online banner ads which are usually placed in a particular news website. The investigated news website adopts a pay-per-ad payment model, where the advertisers are charged when they rent a banner from the website during a particular period. In this payment model, the website needs to ensure that the ad pushed frequency of each ad on the banner is similar. Under such advertisement push rules, an ad-recommendation mechanism considering ad push fairness is required. Design/methodology/approach The authors proposed a novel ad recommendation method that considers both ad-push fairness and personal interests. The authors take every ad’s exposure time into consideration and investigate users’ three different usage experiences in the website to identify the main factors affecting the interests of users. Online ad recommendation is conducted on the investigated news website. Findings The results of the experiments show that the proposed approach performs better than the traditional approach. This method can not only enhance the average click rate of all ads in the website but also ensure reasonable fairness of exposure frequency of each ad. The online experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Originality/value Existing researches had not considered both the advertisement recommendation and ad-push fairness together. With the proposed novel ad recommendation model, the authors can improve the ad click-through rate of ads with reasonable push fairness. The website provider can thereby increase the commercial value of advertising and user satisfaction.

Integrating collaborative topic modeling and diversity for movie recommendations during news browsing

“…Recommender systems adopt filtering techniques to solve the problem of information overload for users by analyzing their historical preferences or interests and exploring items they may like (Resnick and Varian, 1997). Nowadays, recommender systems have widely been applied in several domains, such as products (Huang et al, 2019;Li et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2018), music (Patel and Wadhvani, 2018), advertisement (Liu et al, 2019), tasks or knowledge (Li et al, 2015;Zhang and Su, 2018), and tour services (Yuan and Yang, 2017). Recommender systems can be broadly divided into three categories based on how recommendations are provided (Alyari and Jafari Navimipour, 2018).…”

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate/phosphodiesterase 4 pathway associated with immune infiltration and PD-L1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma cells

“…However, the sensitivity of patients to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors is highly variable. Interestingly, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are more sensitive to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (2), which may be related to the changes in immune micro-environment secondary to the disease process. The role of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/phosphodiesterase 4 (cAMP/PDE4) axis in immune system regulation is supported by the Food and Drug Association as a treatment for COPD (3).…”
