The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below based on the above common aspects to which the present invention relates.
Fig. 3 shows an exemplary flow of the information delivery method. The method shown in fig. 3 is applied to the field or application scenario mentioned in fig. 1, and is performed by the processor 1 of the information delivery platform (or server) shown in fig. 2 interacting with other devices.
The above exemplary process includes:
in section 301: and a processor 1 of the information delivery platform (or the server) generates a k-th round diffusion training set according to the initial seed crowd and the feedback data of the k-1 th round delivery crowd.
K is an integer which is incremented one by one starting from 0.
The initial seed population refers to a population having the same demand and interest for a product or service in a specific application scenario (e.g., WeChat circle of friends).
In an advertisement placement scenario, an initial seed population may be provided by an advertiser. The advertiser may upload the initial seed demographic package to enable the provision of the initial seed demographic. The content of the initial seed crowd package may include at least one of a phone number, an account number, a mailbox, a user unique Identification (ID), and the like. For telephone numbers, accounts and mailboxes, the association relationship with the user ID can be converted into the user ID.
In other application scenarios, the initial seed population may also be obtained from a certain database or databases, or from a trading platform.
And identifying a user on the platform corresponding to each individual in the k-th diffusion training set and the k-1 th delivery crowd by using the user ID. Further, each individual has a feature vector (the feature vector can be obtained from the database 102), and the feature vector includes a plurality of attributes and corresponding attribute values of the individual.
For example, the k-th round of diffusion training set includes 100 user IDs, each corresponding to a plurality of attributes and attribute values.
The attributes may illustratively include: location, sex, age, height, etc. In some application scenarios, the attributes may also include: interest tags (which are information for reflecting the user's interest), the number of purchases, and the like.
The attribute value is a specific value corresponding to a certain attribute. For example, height 1.8m, height being an attribute, 1.8m being the attribute value of height. Of course, the attribute value may be one interval.
The feedback data can comprise feedback statistics of the k-1 th delivery population and behavior data of each individual in the k-1 th delivery population.
And the feedback statistical data is calculated according to the behavior data of all individuals of the k-1 th round of putting population.
In one example, the feedback statistics may include click-through rates, and accordingly, the behavioral data for each user may include data characterizing whether to click through.
The click rate is calculated as click/exposure. For example, suppose that the number of people delivered in the k-1 th round is 100, and the 100 people open the WeChat client 1000 times in the k-1 time period and click 10 times on a certain advertisement position. The click rate is 10/1000-1%.
In another example, the feedback statistics may include conversion rates. The conversion rate may include a like rate (number of like persons/number of put persons), a dislike rate (number of dislike persons/number of put persons), a comment rate (number of comment persons/number of put persons), and the like.
Correspondingly, the behavior data of each user can include APP download information, friend circle praise information, friend circle comment information, even information of 'no interest', information of 'dislike' and the like.
At element 302: and the processor 1 of the information delivery platform (or the server) performs the kth round of iterative training by using the feature vectors of all the individuals in the kth round of diffusion training set to obtain a kth round of diffusion model.
It should be noted that the embodiment does not have to perform iterative training and advertisement delivery endlessly. The iterative training and subsequent ad placement will stop when the stop condition is met.
In one example, the stop condition may include the number of iterations reaching an upper limit. In another example, the stop condition may include the number of people who have delivered the crowd reaching the advertiser's requirement, etc.
The k-th round diffusion training set comprises a first positive sample subset and a first negative sample subset. The first and second steps in the present invention are for distinction and are not intended to indicate the order of the steps.
Individuals in the first subset of positive samples are positive samples, and individuals in the first subset of negative samples are negative samples.
Accordingly, the k-th round diffusion model obtained by training may include: a first discriminating feature vector (or first eigenvalue weight vector) for discriminating between positive and negative samples.
The first distinguishing feature vector may include: and the attribute and the corresponding attribute value are strongly associated with the training target of distinguishing the positive sample from the negative sample.
The foregoing mentions that the feature vector of each individual includes a plurality of attributes, and in the iterative training, the weight of each attribute with respect to the training target is calculated, and the larger the weight is, the stronger the association with the training target is. Wherein, the training target can be a target of distinguishing positive and negative samples.
Since there is a first subset of negative examples, the weights may also be negative.
For example, assuming that the common attributes 1-4 have weights of 2, 0.67, 0.625, and-0.125, respectively, with respect to the training target, if 3 attributes are taken, the attributes 1-3 are attributes strongly associated with distinguishing between positive and negative samples.
It should be noted that the attribute value of the attribute in the first distinguishing feature vector may be a value range or an average value.
For example, assuming that the first distinguishing feature vector includes an attribute of age and attribute values, and there are 4 individuals in the first positive sample subset, and the ages are 20, 25, 15, and 20, respectively, the attribute value of the attribute of age in the first distinguishing feature vector may be [15,25], or (20+25+15+20)/4 ═ 20.
At part 303: screening the k-th round of put population from the whole population by using a k-th round diffusion model.
In different application scenarios, the whole population refers to all users of the platform. For example, under the wechat platform, the whole population refers to all wechat users.
In one example, each individual (i.e., user) in the overall population may be scored using a k-th round diffusion model, the users may be ranked according to the score from high to low, and top N may be selected as the impression population.
The score (or called score) characterizes the similarity of the feature vector of the individual to the first discriminative feature vector. The higher the score, the higher the similarity of the feature vector characterizing the respective individual to the first distinguishing feature vector.
The value of N is determined by the placement size selected by the advertiser, for example, if the placement size is 10 ten thousand, N is 10 ten thousand.
Alternatively, users with scores greater than a certain threshold may be considered as the delivery population.
At element 304: and the processor 1 of the information delivery platform (or the server) performs the kth round of information delivery on the kth round of delivery crowd through the communication interface 3.
Or, the processor 1 of the information delivery platform (or server) may output the kth round of delivered people through the communication interface 3, and the other platforms deliver information to the kth round of delivered people.
And after entering the information release, judging whether the next round of information release is carried out, if so, generating a diffusion training set of the next round, and executing subsequent operation.
It should be noted that the traditional method for population diffusion is as follows:
taking a seed crowd packet as a positive sample subset, and randomly selecting a negative sample subset from the whole crowd to form a training set;
secondly, training a linear Logistic Regression (LR) model by using a training set;
and thirdly, predicting the whole population by using the trained LR model, and taking out TOPN users as the population to be delivered.
The disadvantages are that:
the seed population with poor quality spreads out the releasing population with poor quality, and releasing advertisements to the releasing population with poor quality causes poor releasing effect and damages the benefit of users;
the randomly extracted negative sample subset does not carry characteristic information, so that the trained model cannot accurately distinguish positive and negative samples, and the model accuracy is poor.
In the embodiment of the invention, the k-th round diffusion training set is adjusted based on the feedback data of the released crowd in the previous round (k-1), so that even if the quality of the initial seed crowd is poor, the sample can be adjusted through the feedback data and multiple iterations, the matching degree of the released crowd and the information is higher and higher, and the precision of the diffused released crowd is further improved.
Meanwhile, when iterative training is carried out, feature vectors of all individuals in a k-th diffusion training set are introduced for model training, and a k-th releasing crowd is screened out according to a trained model, so that the trained model can accurately distinguish crowds similar to a positive sample subset, and the accuracy of the diffused releasing crowd is improved.
The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below by taking an advertisement placement scenario as an example.
Fig. 4 shows another exemplary flow of the information delivery method described above. The method shown in fig. 4 can be applied to the application scenario shown in fig. 1, and is performed by the processor 1 in the information delivery platform/server shown in fig. 2 interacting with other components.
Because of the multiple iteration processes, the present embodiment takes the 0 th iteration training and advertisement delivery, and the m (m is not equal to 0) th iteration and advertisement delivery as examples for teaching. m is equal to any value of k ≠ 0.
The exemplary process includes:
in part 400: the initial seed population is obtained as the positive sample subset (first positive sample subset) of the 0 th round diffusion training set.
For a description of the initial seed population, reference may be made to section 301 of the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.
In section 401: and randomly selecting the same amount of population as the initial seed population from the whole population as the negative sample subset (the first negative sample subset) of the 0 th round of diffusion training set.
For example, if the number of users in the initial seed population is 5 ten thousand, 5 general users are randomly selected from the whole population as the first negative sample subset.
For a general description of the population, reference is made to the aforementioned embodiment, section 303, and further description is omitted here.
At part 402: feature vectors are obtained for the first subset of positive samples and the first subset of negative samples.
For related descriptions of the feature vectors, reference may be made to the section 301 of the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.
Thus, each sample in the 0 th round of diffusion training set has a feature vector.
At element 403: and importing the feature vector of each individual in the first positive sample subset and the first negative sample subset into a first preset model for training and learning to obtain a 0 th round diffusion model.
More specifically, the first predetermined model may be a logistic regression model (LR), and the LR may further refine the model including Spark ADMMLR model. Due to the large number of samples, the Spark ADMMLR model can be selected for training and learning.
Of course, other logic models, such as decision trees, support vector machines, etc., may be selected in other embodiments of the invention.
Wherein, the 0 th round diffusion model comprises: a first discriminative feature vector. For a related description of the first distinguishing feature vector, reference is made to the aforementioned section 301, which is not described herein again.
Section 403 is similar to section 302 previously described and further details are not provided.
At element 404: and screening the 0 th round of thrown people from the whole people by using the 0 th round of diffusion model.
Portion 404 is similar to portion 303 described above and further details are not provided.
In part 405: and carrying out the 0 th round information delivery on the 0 th round delivery crowd, and obtaining feedback data of the 0 th round delivery crowd.
More specifically, after the 0 th round of information delivery, the feedback data of the 0 th round of delivery crowd can be acquired after waiting for a predetermined time. For example, it may wait for 10 minutes, an hour, a day, etc.
For a related description of the feedback data, reference may be made to the section 301 of the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.
In section 406: and generating an mth round putting training set according to the feedback data of the (m-1) th round putting crowd.
In the advertisement putting scene, the feedback data of the m-1 th round of putting crowd reflects the advertisement putting effect.
The mth round of impression training set includes a second subset of positive samples and a second subset of negative samples. Individuals in the second positive sample subset are taken as positive samples and individuals in the second negative sample subset are taken as negative samples. Similar to the 0 th round of impression training set, each individual in the mth round of impression training set has a feature vector.
As mentioned above, the feedback data of the k-1 th round may include feedback statistics (click-through rate or conversion rate) of the k-1 th round of impression crowd, and behavior data of each individual in the k-1 th round of impression crowd.
Correspondingly, the behavior data of the individuals in the second positive sample subset has a positive correlation with the feedback statistical data; the behavior data of the individuals in the second negative sample subset has an inverse relationship with the feedback statistical data.
The forward correlation means that the feedback statistic data increases as the number of individuals having the behavior data increases when the total number is constant.
Taking the feedback statistical data as the click rate as an example, the more the number of individuals with click behavior (which may be called click crowd) is, the higher the click rate is in the case of a certain total number.
For another example, taking feedback statistics data as an example of the conversion rate, in a case where the total number is constant, the conversion rate is higher as the number of individuals (which may be referred to as conversion crowd) having behaviors such as APP download, praise, and comment is larger.
Further, if the click rate is taken as the release target, the obtaining manner of the second positive sample subset of the mth release training set may specifically include: the click crowd is taken as the second positive sample subset.
If the conversion rate is used as the release target, the obtaining manner of the second positive sample subset of the mth release training set may specifically include: the transformed population is taken as the second positive sample subset.
The reverse association relationship means that the feedback statistic data decreases as the number of individuals having the behavior data increases when the total number is constant.
Whether the click rate or the conversion rate is used as the release target, the obtaining manner of the second negative sample subset of the mth release training set may specifically include:
putting other individuals, which are removed from the second positive sample subset of the mth round of putting training set in the mth-1 round of putting population, into the second negative sample subset of the mth round of putting training set; or, the m-1 th round of putting population is used as a second negative sample subset of the m-th round of putting training set.
Of course, if the number of samples of the second positive sample subset is the same as the number of samples of the second negative sample subset, the sampling may be performed to obtain the second negative sample subset of the mth round of launching the training set.
In the present embodiment, the mth round of delivery training set is obtained based on the feedback statistical data (click-through rate or conversion rate) of the delivery population of the previous round (m-1) and the behavior data of the individual. This may result in the second positive sample subset in the training set of the mth round being strongly associated with increasing click-through rate or conversion rate, and the second negative sample subset in the training set of the mth round being strongly associated with decreasing click-through rate or conversion rate.
And the click rate or the conversion rate represents the advertisement putting effect, namely, the positive strong correlation between the (positive sample subset in the) mth round putting training set and the advertisement putting effect. Therefore, the m-th round putting model obtained based on the m-th round putting training set can be accurately diffused into the putting crowd which is similar to the positive sample subset and is beneficial to improving the advertisement putting effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the quality of the seed population is poor, the accurate delivery population can be gradually diffused.
At part 407: and importing the feature vectors of all individuals in the mth round of putting training set into a second preset model for training and learning to obtain the mth round of putting model.
The second predetermined model is similar to the first predetermined model, and is not described herein.
The mth round putting model may include: a second discrimination feature vector for discriminating positive and negative samples; the second discriminating feature vector includes: attributes strongly associated with the object of distinguishing between positive and negative samples and corresponding attribute values.
The second distinguishing feature vector is similar to the first distinguishing feature vector, and for related introduction, refer to the aforementioned portion 302, which is not described herein again.
It should be noted that, since the training sets are different, the specific contents included in the second distinguishing feature vector and the first distinguishing feature vector are also different.
In this embodiment, because the negative sample and the positive sample both carry the eigenvector, the trained release model can accurately distinguish the positive and negative samples compared with the existing mode, so that an accurate diffusion training set can be screened out through the release model subsequently. Therefore, even if the quality of the seed crowd is poor, the accurate throwing crowd can be gradually diffused.
At element 408: and screening the mth round diffusion training set from the mth round throwing training set and the initial seed crowd by using the mth round throwing model.
More specifically, the first positive sample subset in the mth round of diffusion training set can be obtained as follows:
scoring each individual in the initial seed population using the mth round of feeding model to obtain a set Seedscore { (u, score (u)) | u ∈ seed user }; wherein, SeedScore represents a score set (which may be referred to as a first score set) of the seed population, u represents a certain user in the initial seed population, and score (u) represents a score corresponding to a certain user in the seed population.
Filtering out the individuals with the scores smaller than the first threshold value theta 1 from the initial seed population to obtain the filtered seed population, which may also be called as the first subset P 1 ,P 1 ={u|score(u)>θ1,(u,score(u))∈SeedScore}。
And (3) scoring each individual in the second positive sample subset of the mth round of launching training set by using the mth round of launching model to obtain a set posiveadscore { (u, score (u) | u ∈ { the second positive sample subset of the mth round of launching training set }, wherein posiveadscore represents a set of scores (which can be referred to as a second set of scores) corresponding to the second positive sample subset in the mth round of launching training set.
Filtering out individuals with scores smaller than a second threshold value theta 2 from the second positive sample subset of the mth round of launching the training set to obtain a filtered second positive sample subset, which may also be called a second subset P 2 ,P 2 { u | score (u) > θ 2, (u, score (u)) ∈ PositiveADScore }. θ 1, θ 2 may be equal or different.
Merging the filtered seed population with the filtered second positive sample subset to obtain a first positive sample subset P of the mth round diffusion training set, that is, P ═ P 1 ∪P 2
In other embodiments, a certain number of users may also be randomly extracted from the union of the second positive sample subset of the mth round of launched training set and the initial seed group to obtain the first positive sample subset of the mth round of diffusion training set.
In this embodiment, positive sample is all elected from the seed crowd in each round, can guarantee like this that initial seed crowd puts in crowd's similarity with the kth round of selecting out to can carry out the crowd diffusion on the basis of guaranteeing to put in crowd and seed crowd's similarity.
The first negative sample subset in the mth round of diffusion training set can be obtained as follows:
(1) and (3) scoring the individuals in the second negative sample subset of the mth round putting training set by using the mth round putting model to obtain a set NegativeADscore ═ { i, score (i) } | i ∈ { the negative sample subset of the mth round putting training set }. NegativeADscore represents a score set (which may be referred to as a third score set) corresponding to the second negative sample subset in the mth round of putting training set, i represents a certain user in the second negative sample subset in the mth round of putting training set, and score (i) represents a score corresponding to a certain user in the second negative sample subset in the mth round of putting training set.
