Abstract(in English) In banner advertising, Click Through Rate (CTR) is one of the most important indicators to evaluate oneadvertisement?s quality. Advertisers create massive number of banner candidates in empirical ways, then proceed to actual testsby delivering advertisement to measure each banner?s effectiveness. This process is expensive and therefore our CTR predictionhelps reducing online advertising costs. In this work, we propose a method to classify effective and ineffective advertisingbanners based on image processing using state-of-the-art CNN. We first focus only on images then conduct experiments includingmetadata (product, advertiser, etc) to increase the CTR prediction accuracy and demonstrate which metadata is the mostinfluential. Subsequently, each approach is compared to human performance. In the second part of our work, we detect whichparts of the image contribute predominantly to increase the CTR by generating heat maps for each classes. This work leads to adeeper understanding of a banner advertising success and helps making decisions on how to improve it.
