SurvBid: The Survival Analysis Approach
Introducing SurvBid, a novel framework that transforms delayed conversion prediction into a survival analysis problem. By modeling delay time distributions, SurvBid provides accurate CPA estimates for improved bidding strategies. We offer two versions: SurvBid-M and SurvBid-C.
| Feature | SurvBid-M (Multitask Model) | SurvBid-C (Cox Model) |
|---|---|---|
| Adaptability | No restrictions on advertisers, broader applicability. | Requires advertisers to be of similar types for optimal performance. |
| Performance (Similar Ads) | Performs well. | Delivers better performance. |
| Performance (Diverse Ads) | Outperforms. | Performs well. |
| Convergence Rate Assumption | No specific distribution assumption. | Assumes proportional hazards for optimal convergence. |
Empirical Validation & Impact
Offline and online experiments demonstrate SurvBid's effectiveness. It significantly improves CPA estimation accuracy and boosts platform revenue, ad exposure, and conversion numbers across various OCPC scenarios.
Online A/B Test: SurvBid's Real-World Performance
An online A/B test on an OCPC platform demonstrated that deploying SurvBid led to significant improvements. It boosted revenue, click numbers, and conversion numbers without triggering any compensation. This validates SurvBid's efficacy in real-world advertising scenarios. The online deployment showed revenue, clicks, and conversions increasing by 11.9%, 8.1%, and 6.9% respectively.
