Nowadays, billboard advertising has emerged as an effective advertising technique due to higher returns on investment. Given a set of selected slots and tags, how to effectively assign the tags to the slots remains an important question. In this paper, we study the problem of assigning tags to the slots such that the number of tags for which influence demand of each zone is satisfied gets maximized. Formally, we call this problem the Multi-Slot Tag Assignment Problem. The input to the problem is a geographical region partitioned into several zones, a set of selected tags and slots, a trajectory, a billboard database, and the influence demand for every tag for each zone. The task here is to find out the assignment of tags to the slots so that the number of satisfied tags is maximized. We show that the problem is NP-hard, and we propose a Cost Effective Greedy algorithm to solve this problem. An approximation guarantee and complexity analysis of the proposed methodology have been provided. The proposed methodology has been implemented with real-life datasets, and several experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. The obtained results have been compared with the baseline methods, and we observe that the proposed approach leads to a number of tags whose zonal influence demand is satisfied.

摘要

Nowadays, billboard advertising has emerged as an effective advertising technique due to higher returns on investment. Given a set of selected slots and tags, how to effectively assign the tags to the slots remains an important question. In this paper, we study the problem of assigning tags to the slots such that the number of tags for which influence demand of each zone is satisfied gets maximized. Formally, we call this problem the Multi-Slot Tag Assignment Problem. The input to the problem is a geographical region partitioned into several zones, a set of selected tags and slots, a trajectory, a billboard database, and the influence demand for every tag for each zone. The task here is to find out the assignment of tags to the slots so that the number of satisfied tags is maximized. We show that the problem is NP-hard, and we propose a Cost Effective Greedy algorithm to solve this problem. An approximation guarantee and complexity analysis of the proposed methodology have been provided. The proposed methodology has been implemented with real-life datasets, and several experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. The obtained results have been compared with the baseline methods, and we observe that the proposed approach leads to a number of tags whose zonal influence demand is satisfied.
