Sublime & Subliminal: Semantics for Online Advertising
Google Tech Talks
August 6, 2008
ABSTRACT
Web advertising, hasn't delivered its potential value to advertisers. This is partcularly true for contextual advertisement. The main problem is that the marriage of ad and the content of a page is based on algorithms that do not offer satisfactory results in understanding the actual meaning of the content of a web page. Try the search "stock base" in Google or Yahoo. You will get many more pages about equities than you do about soup. Yet the ads placed on these pages are too often not related to the main topic of the article. Showing an ad about food when the intended use of "stock base" was in the context of equities it's a mismatch.
Expert System now offers a revolutionary solution that automatically processes the meaning of the text to ensure that the ads selected are relevant. Expert System's CSA (Cogito Semantic Ad) relies on its Semantic Intelligence technology to analyze text on the page through linguistic analysis and Semantic Comprehension to assure that promotional information can be served more effectively.
[Expert System is looking to partner with Google. Anyone interested in discussing such possibilities should contact host Ellen Spertus (spertus@google.com) to arrange a meeting.]

I certainly hope it will continue not to deliver it's potential value. I may be a web-developer but I see advertising and commercial exploitation as the biggest threat the web faces today. Thank god for things like ad-blocker which stop the corporations from further extending their branding tendrils into the global consciousness.

sigh... and it is solely because of advertising that you are ablt to watch videos on YT, search via google, and submit and read articles on digg all for free. Figure out a more efficient and valuable way to financially support web servers and services and I've no doubt the market will switch to that instead of advertising. good luck on that.

I never said it didn't work or wasn't efficient. A brainwashing cult like Scientology is very efficient. That doesn't make it a good thing.
