Сегодня мы открываем регистрацию на семинар, который состоится 28 июля.
В рамках Цикла научных семинаров выступит Evgeniy Gabrilovich - Senior Research Scientist and Manager of the NLP & IR Group at Yahoo! Research. Традиционно семинар будет проходить в московском офисе Яндекса.
Тема доклада: Recent advances in computational advertising: design and analysis of ad retrieval systems.
Тезисы: Online advertising is the primary economic force behind numerous Internet services ranging from major Web search engines to obscure forums. A new discipline - Computational Advertising - has recently emerged, which studies the process of advertising on the Internet from a variety of angles. A successful advertising campaign should be integral to the user experience and relevant to the users' information needs, as well as economically worthwhile to the advertiser and the publisher. This talk will survey the evolution of online advertising systems, and discuss the unique challenges posed by searching the ad corpus. At first approximation, finding user-relevant ads can be reduced to conventional information retrieval. However, the complex structure of ad campaigns, along with the cornucopia of pertinent non-textual information and economic considerations, makes ad retrieval substantially (and interestingly) different. We show how to adapt standard IR methods for ad retrieval, in particular by developing structure-aware indexing techniques and by augmenting the ad selection process with external knowledge. We demonstrate how to enrich query representation using Web search results, and thus use the Web as a repository of relevant query-specific knowledge. We also discuss the findings of our recent studies of the interplay between the organic and sponsored search results, and the insights we gained by studying how users interact with the ads.
