Abstract

Systems and methods for building keyword searchable audience based on performance ranking are provided. The system includes a processor and a non-transitory storage medium accessible to the processor. The system includes a memory storing a database comprising segment data and campaign data. A computer server is in communication with the memory and the database, the computer server programmed to: obtain a performance-lift vector for an audience segment; obtain a campaign vector using meta-data from the campaign data; obtain a keyword vector for the audience segment using the performance-lift vector and the campaign vector; receive an input from a user interface accessible to an advertiser; and search the segment data at least partially based on the input and the keyword vector for segments in the segment data.

obtain a campaign vector using meta-data from the campaign data;

obtain a keyword vector for the audience segment using the performance-lift vector and the campaign vector;

receive an input from a user interface accessible to an advertiser; and

search the segment data at least partially based on the input and the keyword vector for segments in the segment data.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the user interface comprises a plurality user input fields at least partially related to the plurality of audience features.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer server is programmed to obtain and update the performance-lift vector, the campaign vector, and the keyword vector periodically in an offline training process.

6 . The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the computer server is programmed to obtain an input vector using the input, the input vector indicating at least one of: a geographical feature, a demographical feature, a mobile application feature, a technology feature, and a publisher feature; and

wherein the computer server is programmed to select and recommend an audience segment to the advertiser using a dot product of the input vector and the keyword vector.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the campaign vector comprises a sub-vector of keywords and a sub-vector of weighs corresponding to the sub-vector of keywords, and the sub-vector of keywords comprises keywords at least partially related to creative landing uniform resource locator (URL), advertiser name, and product name.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the computer server is programmed to obtain the sub-vector of weighs corresponding to the sub-vector of keywords using a process based on a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) of the keywords in the sub-vector of keywords.

9 . A method, comprising:

obtaining, by one or more devices having a processor, segment data and campaign data from a memory storing a database;

obtaining, by the one or more devices, a performance-lift vector for an audience segment, the performance-lift vector comprising a difference of a performance of the audience segment for a campaign and an average performance of other audience segments for the campaign;

obtaining, by the one or more devices, a campaign vector using meta-data from the campaign data;

obtaining, by the one or more devices, a keyword vector for the audience segment using the performance-lift vector and the campaign vector; and

searching, by the one or more devices, the segment data at least partially based on an input and the keyword vector for segments in the segment data.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving the input from a user interface accessible to an advertiser.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the audience segment comprises a plurality of audience features comprising at least one of: a geographical feature of the audience segment, a demographical feature of the audience segment, a mobile application related to the audience segment, a technology related to the audience segment, and a publisher related to the audience segment.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user interface comprises a plurality user input fields at least partially related to the plurality of audience features.

13 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

obtaining and updating the performance-lift vector, the campaign vector, and the keyword vector periodically in an offline training process.

14 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

obtaining an input vector using the input, the input vector indicating at least one of: a geographical feature, a demographical feature, a mobile application feature, a technology feature, and a publisher feature;

selecting an audience segment using a dot product of an input vector and the keyword vector; and

displaying the selected audience segment in a user interface accessible to an advertiser.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the campaign vector comprises a sub-vector of keywords and a sub-vector of weighs corresponding to the sub-vector of keywords, and the sub-vector of keywords comprises keywords at least partially related to creative landing uniform resource locator (URL), advertiser name, and product name.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

obtaining the sub-vector of weighs corresponding to the sub-vector of keywords using a process based on a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) of the keywords in the sub-vector of keywords.

17 . A non-transitory storage medium configured to store modules comprising:

module for obtaining a performance-lift vector for an audience segment, the performance-lift vector comprising a difference of a performance of the audience segment for a campaign and an average performance of other audience segments for the campaign;

module for obtaining a campaign vector using meta-data from a database comprising campaign data;

module for obtaining a keyword vector for the audience segment using the performance-lift vector and the campaign vector;

module for displaying a user interface and receiving an input from the user interface accessible to an advertiser; and

module for searching a database comprising segment data at least partially based on an input and the keyword vector for segments in the segment data.

18 . The non-transitory storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the modules further comprise:

module for obtaining and updating the performance-lift vector, the campaign vector, and the keyword vector periodically in an offline training process;

module for selecting an audience segment using a dot product of an input vector and the keyword vector, the input vector at least partially related to the input; and
