Context-Aware Ad Transitions

UC Berkeley Haas Business School AI Strategies Capstone Project

Context-Aware Ad Transitions

Developed an AI-powered system that:

  1. Analyzes the last few seconds of visual and audio content using multiple AI technologies:
    • Visual Analysis: CNNs and RNNs for object detection, scene recognition, and activity recognition
    • Audio Analysis: Speech recognition, NLP for themes and sentiments, sound classification
    • Textual Analysis: Subtitle analysis and OCR for on-screen text
  2. Generates contextually relevant ad transitions using:
    • Machine Learning Models: CNNs, NLP Transformers (BERT, GPT), Audio Models, and GANs
    • Ad Matching algorithms: Contextual matching, user profile matching, and reinforcement learning
  3. Implements real-time processing with latency optimization and robust privacy measures
  4. Utilizes innovative measurement techniques, including device accelerometer data analysis for non-intrusive engagement tracking

While this is a conceptual project, the projected outcomes include:

  • Increased ad retention rates (target >80%)
  • Higher user engagement with ads (target >10% interaction rate)
  • Improved conversion rates (target >5%)
  • Enhanced user satisfaction with the advertising experience
  • Potential annual revenue of $13,200,000 with an ROI of 1220% in the first year
