Application Analysis of Multi-Task Learning Algorithm in E-Commerce Personalized Advertising Intelligent Push
To improve the precision of personalized selection and push of e-commerce advertising content, a personalized advertising recommendation model based on improved Multi-Task Learning (MTL) algorithm is proposed. This study uses the data set of Specific Feature keywords (SFs) clicked by users and the basic facts of users' preference for selling keywords to increase the click-through rate of advertisements by adding personalized selling keywords in the advertisement title. Combined with the click-through rate prediction task as an auxiliary task, the prediction ability of the model is enhanced. Experimental results show that the model is better than the traditional method in terms of click-through rate, recommendation accuracy and efficiency. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of the model reaches 0.92, which is significantly improved compared with 0.81 of the traditional models, and the recommendation efficiency is increased by 14.26%. Through large-scale online and offline experiments, the superiority of the model in several indexes is verified. The model is particularly suitable for scenarios where users have rich clicking behavior in auxiliary tasks but sparse clicking behavior in main tasks. This study provides an effective method for optimizing the advertising push of e-commerce platforms.
