Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for evaluating advertisement effectiveness on social networking systems require significant time and resources, as they rely on human reviewers to provide qualitative ratings, which are inefficient and not scalable.

Innovation Solution

The use of machine learning models, specifically neural networks and regression models, to analyze visual content of advertisements and automatically determine qualitative ratings such as noticeability, focal point, emotional reward, and call-to-action, reducing the need for extensive human review.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If human reviewers are used to provide qualitative ratings for advertisements, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates and loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequalitative rating accuracyVSAvoidrating evaluation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical human review process with an automated machine learning system that uses computer vision to analyze advertisement images and predict qualitative ratings. The system processes images through neural networks to generate predictions for multiple rating criteria simultaneously, eliminating the need for human reviewers while maintaining scalable evaluation capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If human reviewers are used to provide qualitative ratings for advertisements, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequalitative rating accuracyVSAvoidtime for rating evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system substitutes human time investment with automated computational processing. Multiple rating predictions are generated simultaneously through parallel processing of advertisement images through trained machine learning models, reducing evaluation time from hours or days to seconds while maintaining consistent quality standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If machine learning models are used to predict qualitative ratings, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverating evaluation speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex rating evaluation task into multiple specialized machine learning models, each trained to predict specific qualitative rating criteria (e.g., noticeability, emotional reward, call-to-action). This segmentation allows each model to focus on specific aspects of advertisement quality, making the overall system more manageable and interpretable while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Productivity

If machine learning models are used to predict qualitative ratings, then productivity is improved, but reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverating evaluation speedVSAvoidrating prediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple machine learning model predictions into a comprehensive qualitative rating assessment. By integrating predictions from several specialized models that evaluate different aspects of advertisement quality, the system achieves more reliable and balanced ratings that compensate for individual model limitations while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine a representation of an advertisement based on a first machine learning model. The representation can be provided to a second machine learning model. One or more qualitative ratings associated with the advertisement can be determined based on the second machine learning model.
