The revolution in the digital economy has rapidly changed the way companies manage, execute and measure the effectiveness of marketing strategies and the delivery of marketing products and services. The widespread growth in digital marketing tools and platforms have led to diverse sources of marketing, advertising and consumer behavioral data, often available in real time. This opens the door to the application of a wide range of AI techniques in areas traditionally considered parts of the marketing science (MS). For example, this includes the use of machine learning, deep learning, sequential decision making, bandits and sequential testing, recommendation systems, game theory, knowledge representation, market design and optimization, and so on for the purpose of marketing resource optimization, managerial decision making, competitive behavior modeling, deconstruction of consumer behavior, and campaign automation and optimization.Research in this field has been largely carried in separate communities until now. Within the AI and machine learning community, the focus has been on developing new and more efficient computational models and techniques, geared towards specific tasks. Within the MS community, the focus has been on exploiting machine learning methods and scalable data methods for addressing important business problems that marketers face. Consequently, researchers publish in separate journals and conferences. It is our conviction that these two separate communities have a lot to benefit from each other’s work, problems and insights.
This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from AI and from MS communities to share in ideas, challenges, opportunities and successes. It will aim to identify important research directions and to identify opportunities for synthesis and unification. In particular, we are calling for research contributions in the following areas:Optimizing marketing decisions under resource constraintAutomated decision making with feedbackOptimizing spend across channelsAutomation and optimization of marketing campaignOptimization in the delivery or marketing messagesUnderstanding consumer psychology personalization and optimization of marketing assets and contentsBandits and sequential testing for marketing strategies.Customer journey modelingConsumer life time value optimization and sequential decision makingPersonalization and recommendationIntent recognition and user modeling on the web and in marketplaces and e-commerceCausal inference and measuring the effectiveness of marketing messageAutomatic clustering and audience segmentationPredictive analytics and forecasting of key performance metrics in commerceApplications of deep learning in predictive analyticsRepresentation learning for marketing dataKnowledge representation for marketing science insightsLearning in games and mechanism design for marketingSocial games and marketing methods.
