title: Towards Intent-Driven Bidterm Suggestion creator: Chang, William creator: Pantel, Patrick creator: Popescu, Ana-Maria creator: Gabrilovich, Evgeniy description: In online advertising, pervasive in commercial search engines, advertisers typically bid on few terms, and the scarcity of data makes ad matching difficult. Suggesting additional bidterms can significantly improve ad clickability and conversion rates. In this paper, we present a large-scale bidterm suggestion system that models an advertiser’s intent and finds new bidterms consistent with that intent. Preliminary experiments show that our system significantly increases the coverage of a state of the art production system used at Yahoo while maintaining comparable precision. date: 2009-04 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://www2009.eprints.org/127/1/p1093.pdf identifier: Chang, William and Pantel, Patrick and Popescu, Ana-Maria and Gabrilovich, Evgeniy (2009) Towards Intent-Driven Bidterm Suggestion.
