PlatformBid: An Auto-Bidding Benchmark from a Unified Advertising Platform's Perspective

arXiv:2607. 27265v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-time bidding is central to computational advertising, comprising three elements: Supply Side Platform (SSP) selling ad impressions, Demand Side Platform (DSP) bidding for advertisers, and Ad Exchange conducting auctions between them.

Token-Level Advertising

The paper introduces the Latent Advertiser Mixture Auction (LAMA), a token‑level advertising framework that integrates advertiser influence directly into the text generation process. Advertisers provide local continuation values that shape next‑token policies, and the platform decodes these through a latent mixture while updating an allocation posterior. LAMA is shown to satisfy Markov DSIC and IR, achieve near‑optimal KL‑regularized welfare, and, in proof‑of‑concept experiments on commercial‑search queries, improve platform welfare and revenue without compromising user‑facing response quality.

LLM-Auction: Generative Auction towards LLM-Native Advertising

The paper introduces LLM‑Auction, a learning‑based generative auction mechanism that integrates ad allocation with large language model (LLM) generation. It redefines the auction object from discrete ad slots to distributions over LLM outputs, aligning allocation with advertiser value and user experience while inherently modeling allocation externalities without extra inference cost. The authors prove allocation monotonicity and continuity, show a first‑price payment rule has favorable incentive properties, and demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art allocation efficiency in a simulated LLM‑as‑a‑judge environment.

PinDCO: Whole-Page Aware Dynamic Creative Optimization at Scale

PinDCO is a scalable dynamic creative optimization system designed for Pinterest’s billion‑scale visual discovery platform. It uses a Creative Component Fusion Network to score ad creatives by modeling individual components (image, title, layout) with dedicated towers and fusing their representations, while a Pixel‑aware Adjustment Module tailors scores to creative size for better whole‑page outcomes. The system incorporates a lightweight pre‑selection model, caching, and dynamic batching to handle large candidate volumes, achieving a 3.09% lift in ad click‑through rate in online experiments.
