LLMs jointly optimize pricing and advertising for revenue gains

Researchers have developed an online actor-critic algorithm that jointly optimizes pricing and advertisement generation using large language models (LLMs). This approach combines low-rank adaptation (LoRA) of a pretrained LLM with a demand model to maximize seller revenue. The algorithm's performance was evaluated using synthetic demand models and a real-world marketplace simulator, showing significant revenue gains compared to benchmarks that do not jointly optimize these aspects. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of LLMs in e-commerce, potentially improving revenue generation for online sellers.

    Marrying Pricing and Advertising with LLMs

    arXiv:2610.09985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a sequential pricing problem in which a seller jointly posts a price and an advertisement generated by a large language model (LLM). The seller aims to maximize revenue under an unknown product demand that depends on both…
