Research Paper Overview
Generative Auto-Bidding in Large-Scale Competitive Auctions via Diffusion Completer-Aligner
Summary
Auto-bidding optimizes advertiser bids under economic constraints and faces challenges in dynamic, competitive auctions. This paper introduces CBD, a causal auto-bidding method using a diffusion completer-aligner framework that improves bid sequence legitimacy and aligns trajectories with advertiser goals. Experiments show a 29.9% conversion value increase in sparse-reward auctions and a 2.0% target cost improvement on Kuaishou's platform.
