Abstract(in English) The importance of Internet advertising in marketing is increasing every year. An advertising agency is using machine learning to predict future advertising effectiveness in order to optimize budget allocation to media for distribution. However, due to the limited information available to the agency, only simple regression can be performed, and the accuracy is inadequate. In a previous study, it was shown that accuracy can be improved by focusing on a more detailed advertising hierarchy and decomposing the forecasts. However, the model did not accurately take into account the law of diminishing marginal utility that exists between advertising cost and advertising effectiveness. Therefore, we take cumulative values as a new preprocessing. We show that this preprocessing successfully incorporates the law of diminishing marginal utility and significantly improves the prediction accuracy. In the evaluation experiments of the previous study, evaluation was conducted on a single advertising hierarchy, but it is also important to conduct evaluation on different hierarchies depending on the purpose. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate model performance at multiple hierarchies. The effectiveness of our method was verified through experiments using actual ad log data.
