Description

Method and apparatus for generating information
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and a device for generating information.
Background
Information push, also called "network broadcast", is a technology for reducing information overload by pushing information required by users on the internet through a certain technical standard or protocol. The information push technology can reduce the time spent by the user in searching on the network by actively pushing information to the user.
The existing push information includes interactive push information, and a user can enter a specific website or open a specific window by selecting (for example, clicking or double clicking) such push information. Additionally, such push information will typically be associated with a translation target, such as installation completion, activation, payment, form submission or phone call, and so forth. Existing information push approaches typically utilize user data related to a transformation target associated with such push information to lock the target user, so as to push such push information to the target user. However, for such push information in the cold start phase, user data related to the conversion target associated with the push information is generally less, and the existing information push method can only lock fewer target users.

When the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 are hardware, they may be various electronic devices with display screens, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop portable computers, desktop computers, and the like. When the terminal apparatuses 101, 102, 103 are software, they can be installed in the electronic apparatuses listed above. It may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services) or as a single piece of software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.
The server 105 may be a server that provides various services. For example, the server 105 may support the client to set a conversion target for the target push information, and the server 105 may determine a target conversion target based on the conversion target, and perform processing such as analysis on the target conversion target, resulting in a processing result (e.g., the generated target user identifier set).

And is not particularly limited herein.
It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers, as desired for implementation.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for generating information in accordance with the present application is shown. The process 200 of the method for generating information comprises the following steps:
step 201, determining a target conversion target related to the target push information.
In this embodiment, an executing subject (e.g., the server 105 shown in fig. 1) of the method for generating information may determine a target conversion target related to the target push information. The conversion goals may include, but are not limited to, download completion, installation completion, activation, payment, form submission, phone call, and the like.
The target conversion target may be a conversion target set by the client for the target push information. The execution main body can provide a conversion target setting interface for the client, so that the client can set a corresponding conversion target for the target push information according to actual needs. The executing agent may execute step 201 in response to acquiring the conversion target information set by the client for the target push information. The conversion target information may include a conversion target identifier. The conversion target identification may be a number or name of the conversion target, or the like.
It should be noted that the target push information may be interactive push information in a cold start phase. It should be understood that for any piece of push information, if the push information is not pushed to the user group or is pushed only a limited number of times, and the push information is associated with less user data, the push information may be said to be in the cold start phase.
The target push information may be used to introduce a customer's product or service to a user group, for example. The target push information may be push information in various forms (for example, in the form of pictures, text links, and the like), and the embodiment does not limit the form of the target push information.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing entity may also determine the target conversion target related to the target push information by using the following determination steps: determining at least one associated conversion target based on a conversion target set by a client aiming at the target push information; determining each associated conversion target of the at least one associated conversion target as a target conversion target. The related conversion target may be a conversion target related to a conversion target set by the client for the target push information.
Here, the executing agent may determine the at least one associated conversion target by executing the following acquiring step: sending a request for obtaining a related conversion target to a management end of a related manager, wherein the request may include a conversion target identifier of the conversion target set by a client for the target push information; and receiving the associated conversion target identifiers returned by the management terminal, and determining a set of associated conversion targets respectively indicated by each received associated conversion target identifier as the at least one associated conversion target.
Optionally, the executing body may search target correspondence information in a preset correspondence information list for characterizing a correspondence between the conversion target and the associated conversion target, and determine the at least one associated conversion target based on the target correspondence information. The target corresponding relation information may be corresponding relation information related to a conversion target set by the client for the target push information. The correspondence information list may be stored in advance in a server locally or in remote communication with the execution main body.
Step 202, acquiring a user identification set and an operation information set.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may obtain a user identifier set and an operation information set. The operation information set may include operation information corresponding to the user identifier in the user identifier set and related to the push information under the set category and/or the category to which the target push information belongs. The setting type may include, for example, at least one of the following: a first type, a second type, a third type, etc. Wherein the information in the first category may be, for example, video that does not contain a jump protocol. The information in the second category may be, for example, articles. The information in the third category may be, for example, pictures that do not contain a jump protocol. The video may be a small video with a short playback time. The category to which the target push information belongs may be a coarse-grained category or a fine-grained category, and is not specifically limited herein. For example, if the target push information is associated with game software, the category to which the target push information belongs may be software or game software.
For the operation information related to the push information in the category to which the target push information belongs, the operation information may include an information identifier of the push information in the category that the user indicated by the corresponding user identifier clicked once, and an operation identifier of a series of operations performed after clicking the push information. Taking the example of the push information related to the game software, the series of operations performed by the user after clicking the push information may include, but is not limited to, downloading, installing, activating, paying, etc. For operation information related to information under a set category, the operation information may include at least one operation identifier and a category identifier set corresponding to each of the at least one operation identifier. Wherein each operation identifier of the at least one operation identifier may be an identifier of one of the following operations: watch, focus, like, bad. Taking the first category as an example, it is assumed that the operation information related to the information in the first category includes a praise identifier and a category identifier set corresponding to the praise identifier, and a category identifier in the category identifier set may be an identifier of a category to which a video not including a skip protocol is attributed, which is praised by a user.
It should be noted that the various identifiers in this application may be represented by a set number (e.g., 128) dimensional floating point numbers.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may obtain a preset first user information set from a server locally or remotely connected thereto. The first user information may include a user identifier and operation information corresponding to the user identifier and related to push information under a set category and/or a category to which the target push information belongs. The execution main body may extract a user identifier set and an operation information set from the first user information set.
For another example, the executing entity may obtain the preset second user information set from a server locally or remotely connected thereto. The second user information may include a user identifier and various operation information corresponding to the user identifier. The execution body may select second user information including operation information related to push information of a set type and/or a type to which the target push information belongs from a second user information set, and may form a second user information group. Then, the execution main body may extract the user identifier from each piece of second user information in the second user information group, and form a user identifier set with the extracted user identifier. Then, for each piece of operation information in the second user information group, if the various pieces of operation information include operation information related to information under a set category, the execution main body may extract the operation information; if the various types of operation information further include operation information related to push information of a category to which the target push information belongs, the execution main body may extract the operation information. Finally, the execution main body may combine the extracted operation information corresponding to each user identifier in the user identifier set into an operation information set.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the operation information related to the information in the first category may include at least one operation identifier and a video identifier set and/or an author information set corresponding to each operation identifier of the at least one operation identifier. Wherein the operation identifier may be an identifier of one of the following operations: watch, focus, like, bad. The author indicated by the author information in the author information set may be an author of a video indicated by a video identification in the video identification set. The author may be an individual or an organization, and is not specifically limited herein. The author information may include the name of the author or the name of an organization, etc.
Step 203, analyzing the operation information set, and determining the probability that the user indicated by each user identifier in the user identifier set achieves the target conversion target through the target push information.
In this embodiment, the executing entity may analyze the acquired operation information set, and determine a probability that a user indicated by each user identifier in the user identifier set achieves a target conversion target through the target push information. Wherein the probability may be a value within the interval [0, 1 ]. The greater the probability value, the greater the likelihood that the user may be characterized to achieve the corresponding target conversion goal.
As an example, the execution subject may perform analysis such as similar user and/or similar push information based on the operation information set. For the user identifier in the user identifier set, the executing body may determine, based on the operation information and the analysis result corresponding to the user identifier, a probability that the user indicated by the user identifier achieves the target conversion target through the target push information.
It is assumed that the category to which the target push information belongs is education software. The target push information corresponding information identifier a1 indicates that the target conversion target associated with the target push information is activated. The user identification set comprises user identifications B1 and B2. The operation information corresponding to the user id B1 includes operation information M1 related to the information of the first category and operation information M2 related to the push information of the education software category. The operation information M1 includes an attention identifier and a category identifier set corresponding to the attention identifier. The set of category identifications includes identifications of education categories. The operation information M2 includes an information identifier a1 and an activation operation identifier corresponding to the information identifier a 1. The operation information corresponding to the user id B2 includes operation information M3 related to the information of the first category. The operation information M3 includes an attention identifier and a category identifier set corresponding to the attention identifier. The set of category identifications includes identifications of education categories. The executing entity may determine that the users indicated by the user identifiers B1 and B2 are all interested in videos belonging to the education category based on the operation information corresponding to the user identifiers B1 and B2, respectively, and thus the executing entity may determine that the users indicated by the user identifiers B1 and B2 are similar users. For the user id B1, based on the operation information corresponding to the user id B1, the executing entity may determine that the probability that the user indicated by the user id B1 achieves the activation conversion target through the target push information is 1. For the user id B2, the operation information corresponding to the user id B2 does not include operation information related to push information in the category of educational software, but the execution subject analyzes that the users indicated by the user ids B1 and B2 are similar users, so the execution subject may also determine that the probability that the user indicated by the user id B2 achieves the activation conversion target through the target push information is 1.
And 204, selecting the user identifier from the user identifier set as a target user identifier based on the determined probability, and generating a target user identifier set.
In this embodiment, the executing agent may select a user identifier from the user identifier set as the target user identifier based on the probability determined in step 203, and generate the target user identifier set.
As an example, for each user identifier in the user identifier set, the executing agent may determine a ratio between the number of probabilities not lower than the probability threshold in the respective probabilities corresponding to the user identifier and the determined number of respective target conversion targets. The execution body may then determine whether the ratio is lower than a preset ratio. If not, the execution subject may select the user identifier as the target user identifier. It should be understood that the probability threshold and the preset ratio can be set according to actual needs, and are not particularly limited herein.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, for each user identifier in the user identifier set, the executing entity may determine whether there is a probability not lower than a probability threshold in the respective probabilities corresponding to the user identifier. If so, the execution subject may select the user identifier as a target user identifier.
With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the method for generating information according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, the server 301 stores target push information B for introducing educational software of the client C to the user group. If the client C pays attention to the payment conversion target in comparison, the client C can transmit payment conversion target information related to the target push information B to the server 301 through the terminal device 302 owned by the client C. The server 301 may determine that the client C sets a payment target for the target push information B based on the received payment target information, and the server 301 may determine that the target conversion target related to the target push information B is a payment (as indicated by reference numeral 303). Then, the server 301 may obtain a user identification set and an operation information set (as shown by reference numeral 304). Wherein, the operation information set may include operation information corresponding to the user identifier in the user identifier set and related to the push information under the category of the education software to which the set category and/or the target push information B belongs. Next, the server 301 may parse the operation information set, and determine a probability that the user indicated by each user identifier in the user identifier set achieves the payment conversion target through the target push information B (as shown by reference numeral 305). Server 301 may then select a user identification from the set of user identifications as the target user identification based on the determined probability (as indicated by reference numeral 306). Finally, the server 301 may group the selected target user identifications into a set of target user identifications (as indicated by reference numeral 307).
In the method provided by the above embodiment of the application, a target conversion target related to target push information is obtained, then a user identifier set and an operation information set are obtained (the operation information set includes operation information corresponding to user identifiers in the user identifier set and related to push information under a set category and/or under a category to which the target push information belongs), then the operation information set is analyzed, a probability that a user indicated by each user identifier in the user identifier set achieves the target conversion target through the target push information is determined, so that based on the determined probability, the user identifier is selected from the user identifier set as the target user identifier, and a target user identifier set is generated. By utilizing the operation information of the user related to the information under the set category, the accuracy of the determined probability can be improved, potential users are prevented from being filtered as much as possible, and the cold start of the target push information is facilitated.
With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for generating information is shown. The flow 400 of the method for generating information comprises the steps of:
step 401, determining at least one associated conversion target based on the conversion target set by the client for the target push information, and determining each associated conversion target in the at least one associated conversion target as a target conversion target.
In this embodiment, after acquiring the conversion target set by the client for the target push information, the executing body (e.g., the server 105 shown in fig. 1) of the method for generating information may determine at least one associated conversion target based on the conversion target, and determine each associated conversion target in the at least one associated conversion target as the target conversion target. The related conversion target may be a conversion target related to a conversion target set by the client for the target push information. The conversion goals may include, but are not limited to, download completion, installation completion, activation, payment, form submission, phone call placement, and the like. The target push information may be interactive push information in a cold start phase.
It should be noted that, the related description in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 can be referred to for the determination method of the associated transformation target, and details are not repeated here.
Step 402, acquiring a user identification set and an operation information set.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may obtain a user identifier set and an operation information set. The operation information set may include operation information corresponding to the user identifier in the user identifier set and related to the push information under the set category and/or the category to which the target push information belongs. Here, for the explanation of step 402, refer to the related explanation of step 202 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and no further description is provided here.
Step 403, for each user identifier in the user identifier set, forming an identifier pair by the user identifier and the information identifier of the target push information.
In this embodiment, for each user identifier in the user identifier set, the execution main body may combine the user identifier and the information identifier of the target push information into an identifier pair.
Step 404, inputting the formed identification pairs and the operation information corresponding to the user identification included in each identification pair into the target prediction model to obtain a prediction result.
In this embodiment, the execution main body may input the operation information corresponding to the user identifier included in each identifier pair formed in step 403 and each identifier pair in the identifier pairs into the target prediction model, so as to obtain a prediction result. The prediction result may include a probability that the user indicated by each user identifier in the user identifier set achieves each target conversion target through the target push information.
The target prediction model may be a model that is learned in advance by a Multi-task learning (MTL) method and is used to predict a probability that the user indicated by the user identifier in the input identifier pair will reach each target conversion target determined in step 401 by the push information indicated by the information identifier in the identifier pair.
The multi-task learning method is a machine learning method for learning a plurality of related tasks together based on shared representation (shared representation). The multi-task learning relates to simultaneous parallel learning of a plurality of related tasks, gradient simultaneous backward propagation, and the plurality of tasks mutually help learning through shared representation of a bottom layer, so that the generalization effect is improved. Since the multitask learning method is a well-known technology which is widely researched and applied at present, the details are not described herein.
And 405, selecting the user identifier from the user identifier set as a target user identifier based on the probability in the prediction result, and generating a target user identifier set.
In this embodiment, the execution subject may select a user identifier from the user identifier set as a target user identifier based on a probability in the obtained prediction result, and generate a target user identifier set. Here, the method for determining the target user identifier may refer to the related description of step 204 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
