Abstract
Techniques are provided for using machine learning techniques to learn embeddings for content items. In one technique, training data is used to learn embeddings for each attribute value of multiple attribute values of multiple content items, embeddings for each attribute value of multiple attribute values of multiple entities, and weights for a set of contextual features. In response to receiving a content request, a content item that is associated with one or more targeting criteria that are satisfied based on the content request is identified. A first set of embeddings for the content item are identified, a requesting entity that initiated the content request is identified along with a second set of embeddings for the requesting entity, and a set of feature values for the set of contextual features is identified. The content item is selected based on the sets of embeddings, the set of feature values, and the weights.
