sensitive webpage classification for content advertising
Online advertising has been a popular topic in recent years. In this paper, we address one of the important problems in online advertising, i.e., how to detect whether a publisher webpage contains sensitive content and is appropriate for showing advertisement(s) on it. We take a webpage classification approach to solve this problem. First we design a unique sensitive content taxonomy. Then we adopt an iterative training data collection and classifier building approach, to build a hierarchical classifier which can classify webpages into one of the nodes in the sensitive content taxonomy. The experimental result show that using this approach, we are able to build a unique sensitive content classifier with decent accuracy while only requiring limited amount of human labeling effort.
