| Abstract | Online user interaction is becoming increasingly personalized both via explicit means: customizations, options, add-ons, skins, apps, etc. and via implicit means, that is, deep data mining of user activities that allows automated selection of content and experiences, e.g. individualized top news stories, personalized ranking of search results, personal "radio stations" that capture idiosyncratic tastes from past choices, individually recommended purchases, and so on. On the other hand, the vast majority of providers of content and services (e.g. portals, search engines, social sites) are supported by advertising, which at core, is just a different type of information. Thus, not surprisingly, on-line advertising is becoming increasingly personalized as well, supported by an emerging new scientific sub-discipline, Computational Advertising. The central problem of Computational Advertising is to find the "best match" between a given user in a given context and a suitable advertisement. The context could be a user entering a query in a search engine ("sponsored search"), a user reading a web page ("content match" and "display ads"), a user communicating via instant-messaging or via e-mail, a user interacting with a portable device, and many more. The information about the user can vary from scarily detailed to practically nil. The number of potential advertisements might be in the billions. Thus, depending on the definition of "best match" this problem leads to a variety of massive optimization and search problems, with complicated constraints. The solution to these problems provides the scientific and technical foundations of the online advertising industry, which according to E-Marketer, is estimated to achieve \$25.8B dollars in revenue in 2010 in US alone, for the first time exceeding print advertising revenue at "only" 22.8B dollars. The focus of this talk is targeted advertising, a form of personalized advertising whereby advertisers specify the features of their desired audience, either explicitly, by specifying characteristics such as demographics, location, and context, or implicitly by providing examples of their ideal audience. A particular form of targeted advertising is behavioral targeting, where the desired audience is characterized by its past behavior. We will discuss how targeted advertising fits the optimization framework above, present some of the mechanisms by which targeted and behavioral advertising are implemented, and briefly survey the controversies surrounding behavioral advertising as a potential infringement on user privacy. We will conclude with some speculations about the future of personalized advertising and interesting areas of research. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
