The proposed FOUND model for user targeting addresses two significant challenges: poor transferability and insufficient forecastability in real-world applications. The framework integrates multi-scenario user data, aligning it with one-sentence targeting demand inputs through contrastive pre-training. This improves cross-domain transferability. For improved forecastability, the text description of each user is derived based on anticipated future behaviors, while user representations are constructed from historical information. Experimental results show that FOUND outperforms existing baselines in cross-domain, real-world user targeting scenarios. The model has been successfully deployed on the Alipay platform and widely utilized across various scenarios.

User targeting helps marketers choose the right people for their ads. Current methods have two big problems: they don’t work well across different situations or platforms, and they’re not good at predicting what will happen in real-life situations. This makes it hard to use them in many different industries. The new FOUND model solves these problems by combining data from many different scenarios and aligning it with the demands of each scenario. It also uses information about what people might do in the future to make better predictions. Tests show that FOUND is much better than existing methods at targeting users across different situations and platforms. It’s even been used on a real platform called Alipay, where it has been very useful.
