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 pagerange: 1093-1093 event_title: 18th International World Wide Web Conference event_location: Madrid, Spain event_dates: April 20th-24th, 2009 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Chang, William and Pantel, Patrick and Popescu, Ana-Maria and Gabrilovich, Evgeniy (2009) Towards Intent-Driven Bidterm Suggestion.
