New methods proposed for counterfactual evaluation of ad ranking models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper introduces new methods for evaluating ad ranking models, focusing on counterfactual evaluation. It proposes using Inverse Propensity Scoring (IPS) and Doubly Robust (DR) estimators to assess model performance more accurately than traditional approaches. The goal is to provide a reliable way to determine if a new ranking model is superior to the current production model before deployment. AI
