• Abstract: Programmatic advertising consists in automated auctioning of digital ad space. Every time a user requests a web page, placeholders on the page are populated with ads from the highest-bidding advertisers. The bids are typically based on information about the user, and to an increasing extent, on information about the surrounding media context. The growing interest in contextual advertising is in part a counterreaction to the current dependency on personal data, which is problematic from legal and ethical standpoints. The transition is further accelerated by developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), which allow for a deeper semantic understanding of context and, by extension, more effective ad placement. In this article, we begin by identifying context factors that have been shown in previous research to positively influence how ads are received. We then continue to discuss applications of AI in contextual advertising, where it adds value by, e.g., extracting high-level information about media context and optimising bidding strategies. However, left unchecked, these new practices can lead to unfair ad delivery and manipulative use of context. We summarize these and other concerns for consumers, publishers and advertisers in an implication analysis.

  We evaluate the effectiveness of Meta's "See less" ad control and the actionability of ad targeting explanations following the shift to AI-mediated targeting. We find that utilizing the "See less" ad control for the topics we study does not significantly reduce the number of ads shown by Meta on these topics. We find that the majority of ad targeting explanations for local ads made no reference to location-specific targeting criteria.

  This paper presents Multi-Channel Sequential Behavior Network (MC-SBN), a deep learning approach for embedding users and ads in a semantic space. Our proposed user encoder architecture summarizes user activities from multiple input channels--such as previous search queries, visited pages, or clicked ads--into a user vector. The results demonstrate that MC-SBN can improve the ranking of relevant ads and boost the performance of both click prediction and conversion prediction.
