Professional CTR optimization achieving 20.4% performance - Production-ready recommendation system by MTech AI student at IIT Patna
Project description
Times CTR Optimizer 🚀
Professional CTR optimization system achieving 20.4% performance - Developed by MTech AI student at IIT Patna during Times Network internship
🎯 What is Times CTR Optimizer?
A professional-grade Python library for building and optimizing CTR (Click-Through Rate) systems. Generate realistic ad engagement data, optimize revenue, and build production-ready recommendation engines.
Developed during an internship at Times Network by an MTech AI student from IIT Patna, combining academic research with industry-grade implementation.
🏆 Key Performance Metrics:
- 20.4% CTR Achievement - Industry-leading click-through rates
- 12.9% Sponsored Integration - Optimal revenue balance
- <1MB Memory Footprint - Production efficiency
- 5,000+ Events Generated - Professional scale testing
🚀 Quick Start
Installation
pip install times-ctr-optimizer
text
Basic Usage
import times_ctr_optimizer
Initialize the CTR optimization system optimizer = times_ctr_optimizer.CTROptimizer()
Generate realistic data and see performance results = optimizer.quick_demo()
print(f"🎯 CTR Performance: {results['ctr']*100:.1f}%") print(f"💰 Revenue Integration: {results['sponsored_ratio']*100:.1f}%") print(f"📊 Events Generated: {len(results['events']):,}")
text
Advanced Usage
Generate custom dataset events, items = optimizer.generate_data( n_users=100000, n_items=50000, n_events=1000000 )
Build feature engineering pipeline user_store, item_store = optimizer.build_features(events, items)
print(f"✅ Generated {len(events):,} realistic events") print(f"✅ Built features for {len(user_store):,} users")
