Billions of online display advertising spots are purchased on a daily basis through real time bidding exchanges (RTBs). Advertising companies bid for these behalf company or brand in order to purchase banner advertisements. These decisions must be made fractions second after the potential purchaser is informed what location (Internet site) has spot available and who would see advertisement. The entire transaction completed near real-time avoid delays loading page maintain good users...

This paper describes and evaluates privacy-friendly methods for extracting quasi-social networks from browser behavior on user-generated content sites, the purpose of finding good audiences brand advertising (as opposed to click maximizing, example). Targeting social-network neighbors resonates well with advertisers, on-line browsing data counterintuitively can allow identification anonymously. Besides being one first papers our knowledge mining advertising, this makes several important...

In many online advertising campaigns, multiple vendors, publishers or search engines (herein called channels) are contracted to serve advertisements internet users on behalf of a client seeking specific types conversion. such individual often served by more than one channel. The process assigning conversion credit the various channels is "attribution," and subject intense interest in industry. This paper presents causally motivated methodology for attribution campaigns. We discuss need...

Recent research has helped to cultivate growing awareness that machine learning systems fueled by big data can create or exacerbate troubling disparities in society. Much of this comes from outside the practicing science community, leaving its members with little concrete guidance proactively address these concerns. This article introduces issues discrimination community on own terms. In it, we tour familiar mining process while providing a taxonomy common practices have potential produce...

Artificial intelligence has significantly advanced skin cancer diagnosis by enabling rapid and accurate detection of malignant lesions. In this domain, most publicly available image datasets consist single, isolated lesions positioned at the center image. While these lesion-centric have been fundamental for developing diagnostic algorithms, they lack context surrounding skin, which is critical improving lesion detection. The iToBoS dataset was created to address challenge. It includes 16,954...

Internet display advertising is a critical revenue source for publishers and online content providers, supported by massive amounts of user publisher data. Targeting ads can be improved substantially with machine learning methods, but building many models on data becomes prohibitively expensive computationally. This paper presents combination strategies, deployed the firm Dstillery, from extremely high-dimensional efficiently without human intervention. includes: (i)~A method...

Background: The number of naevi on a person is the strongest risk factor for melanoma; however, naevus counting highly variable due to lack consistent methodology and inter-rater agreement. Machine learning has been shown be valuable tool image classification in dermatology. Objectives: To test whether automated, reproducible counts are possible through combination convolutional neural networks (CNN) three-dimensional (3D) total body imaging. Methods: Total images from study general...

Abstract AI image classification algorithms have shown promising results when applied to skin cancer detection. Most public datasets are comprised of dermoscopic photos and limited by selection bias, lack standardization, lend themselves development that can only be used skilled clinicians. The SLICE-3D (“Skin Lesion Image Crops Extracted from 3D TBP”) dataset described here addresses those concerns contains images over 400,000 distinct lesions seven dermatologic centers around the world....

Most data mining research is concerned with building high-quality classification models in isolation. In massive production systems, however, the ability to monitor and maintain performance over time while growing size scope equally important. Many external factors may degrade including changes distribution, noise or bias source data, evolution of system itself. A well-functioning must gracefully handle all these. This paper lays out a set design principles for large-scale autonomous systems...
