Ad Headline Generation using Self-Critical Masked Language Model

arXiv:2607.06818v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For any E-commerce website it is a nontrivial problem to build enduring advertisements that attract shoppers. It is hard to pass the creative quality bar of the website, especially at a large scale. We thus propose a programmatic solution to generate product advertising headlines using retail content. We propose a state of the art application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) Policy gradient methods on Transformer based Masked Language Models. Our method creates the advertising headline by jointly conditioning on multiple products that a seller wish
