advertising market already online. Search engines, web publishers, major ad networks, and ad exchanges are now serving billions of ad impressions per day and generating terabytes of user events data every day.The rapid growth of online advertising has created enormous opportunities as well as technical challenges that demand computational intelligence.Computational Advertising hasas a new interdisciplinary field that involves information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, statistics, operations research, and micro-economics, to solve challenging problems that arise in online advertising. The central problem of computational advertising is to select an optimized slate of eligible ads for a user to maximize a total utility function that captures the expected revenue, user experience and return on investment for advertisers.online advertising platform and service. Ads Relevance and Revenue () team is at the core of this effort, responsible for research & development of all the algorithmic components in our advertising technology stack, including,

• User/query intent understanding, document/ad understanding, user targeting

• User response (click & conversion) prediction using large scale machine learning algorithms

• Ads Trust &Safety :Ads Editorial, Network protection, fraud detection, traffic quality measurement

• Marketplace mechanism design and optimization, and whole-page experience optimization

• Personalization

• Innovative new ads products

• Advertising metrics and measurement, including relevance and ad campaign effectiveness

• Data mining and analytics

• Supply-demand forecasting

• Ad campaign planning and optimization

• Experimentation infrastructureincludingtools for configuring and launching experiments, dashboard, live marketplace monitoring, and diagnosis.

Large scale machine learning algorithms and platform

We heavily use the recent advances in grid or cloud computing infrastructure to harness hugeof data for solving many of the above-mentioned problems. We love big data! Theour business. Our experimentation infrastructure allows us to innovate and test new algorithms rapidly with live traffic to measure theireffectiveness, andlaunch them in production as soon as they produce positive results, which makes our work environment productive and rewarding.
