Abstract
Behavioral Targeting (BT), as a useful technique to deliver the most appropriate advertisements to the most interested users by analyzing the user behaviors pattern, has gained considerable attention in online advertising market in recent year. A main task of BT is how to automatically segment web users for ads delivery, and good user segmentation may greatly improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and increase the ad click-through rate (CTR). Classical user segmentation methods, however, rarely take the semantics of user behaviors into consideration and can not mine the user behavioral pattern as properly as should be expected. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach based on the effective semantic analysis algorithm Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to attack this problem. Comparisons with other three baseline algorithms through experiments have confirmed that the proposed approach can increase effectiveness of user segmentation significantly.
