ABSTRACT
RTB (Real Time Bidding) is one of the most exciting developments in computational advertising in recent years. It drives transparency and efficiency in the display advertising ecosystem and facilitates the healthy growth of the display advertising industry. It enables advertisers to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time, publishers to better monetize their content by leveraging their website audience, and consumers to view relevant information through personalized ads. However, researchers in computational advertising area have been suffering from lack of publicly available datasets. iPinYou organizes a three-season global RTB algorithm competition in 2013. For each season, there is offline stage and online stage. On the offline stage, iPinYou releases a dataset for model training and reserves a dataset for testing. The dataset includes logs of ad biddings, impressions, clicks, and final conversions. After the whole competition ends, iPinYou organizes and releases all these three datasets for public use. These datasets can support experiments of some important research problems such as bid optimization and CTR estimation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first publicly available dataset on RTB display advertising. In this paper, we give descriptions of these datasets to further boost the interests of computational advertising research community using this dataset.

A Unified Solution to Constrained Bidding in Online Display Advertising
KDD '21: Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data MiningIn online display advertising, advertisers usually participate in real-time bidding to acquire ad impression opportunities. In most advertising platforms, a typical impression acquiring demand of advertisers is to maximize the sum value of winning ...
Real-Time Bidding with Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Display Advertising
CIKM '18: Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementReal-time advertising allows advertisers to bid for each impression for a visiting user. To optimize specific goals such as maximizing revenue and return on investment (ROI) led by ad placements, advertisers not only need to estimate the relevance ...
Optimal real-time bidding for display advertising
KDD '14: Proceedings of the 20th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data miningIn this paper we study bid optimisation for real-time bidding (RTB) based display advertising. RTB allows advertisers to bid on a display ad impression in real time when it is being generated. It goes beyond contextual advertising by motivating the ...
