• Title: Learning Parameters for a Generalized Vidale-Wolfe Response Model with Flexible Ad Elasticity and Word-of-Mouth
• Authors: Yanwu Yang, Baozhu Feng, Daniel Zeng
• Abstract summary: The Vidale-Wolfe (GVW) model contains two useful indexes representing advertiser's elasticity and the word-of-mouth (WoM) effect, respectively. We present a deep neural network (DNN)-based estimation method to learn its parameters. The research outcome shows that both the ad elasticity index and the WoM index have significant influences on advertising responses.

• Abstract: In this research, we investigate a generalized form of Vidale-Wolfe (GVW) model. One key element of our modeling work is that the GVW model contains two useful indexes representing advertiser's elasticity and the word-of-mouth (WoM) effect, respectively. Moreover, we discuss some desirable properties of the GVW model, and present a deep neural network (DNN)-based estimation method to learn its parameters. Furthermore, based on three realworld datasets, we conduct computational experiments to validate the GVW model and identified properties. In addition, we also discuss potential advantages of the GVW model over econometric models. The research outcome shows that both the ad elasticity index and the WoM index have significant influences on advertising responses, and the GVW model has potential advantages over econometric models of advertising, in terms of several interesting phenomena drawn from practical advertising situations. The GVW model and its deep learning-based estimation method provide a basis to support big data-driven advertising analytics and decision makings; in the meanwhile, identified properties and experimental findings of this research illuminate critical managerial insights for advertisers in various advertising forms.

  Domain generalization (DG) aims to train a model on multiple source domains to ensure that it can generalize well to an arbitrary unseen target domain. Adopting multiple perspectives, such as the sample and the feature, proves to be effective. In this paper, we focus on improving the generalization ability of the model by compelling it to acquire domain-invariant representations from both the sample and feature perspectives.
