    Abstract   HTML ( 11 PDF(741KB) ( 258 )  

    [Objective] This paper tries to predict the conversion rate of APP advertisements with the help of machine learning algorithms, aiming to improve the effectiveness of advertising and marketing activities. [Methods] First, we examined the characteristics of APP advertisements. Then, we applied four machine learning algorithms to predict their conversion rate. The proposed RF+LXFV model was built with Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, Random Forest, LightGBM, XGBoost, Vowpal Wabbit and Field-aware Factorization Machine. Finally, we evaluated the validity and accuracy of the new model with Tencent APP advertising data. [Results] The prediction results of the proposed model achieved higher accuracy than those of the single algorithm. [Limitations] We did not examine the impacts of advertising transformation delay on prediction. [Conclusions] The proposed RF+LXFV model could predict the conversion rate of APP advertising effectively.

    Zhao Yang,Li Qiqi,Chen Yuhan,Cao Wenhang
    2018, 2 (11): 19-27.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2018.0835
    Abstract   HTML ( 16 PDF(1546KB) ( 610 )  

    [Objective] This paper analyzes the sentiment of online reviews, and then evaluates the consumer’s satisfaction with overseas shopping APP, aiming to improve its performance. [Methods] First, we collected reviews of these APPs from the APP Store. Then, we clustered the APPs’ attributes with Canopy and K-means algorithms, which defines the evaluation dimensions of consumer’s satisfaction. Finally, we computed scores of the consumer’s satisfaction with the CNN-SVM sentiment analysis model. [Results] The most important factor affecting the consumer’s satisfaction with overseas shopping APP was commodities, followed by price, interaction, service, and logistics. The consumer’s satisfaction level with the vertical overseas shopping APP was higher than that of the overseas buyer APP and the comprehensive overseas shopping APP. The consumer’s satisfaction level is relatively low with logistics and services. [Limitations] More overseas shopping APP should be included in future research. [Conclusions] The sentiment analysis method is an effective way to analyze consumer’s satisfaction with online reviews of overseas shopping APP.
