摘要翻译：
在线音频广告是在线音乐流媒体服务中广泛使用的一种特殊广告形式。在这些平台中，往往承载着数万个独特的音频广告（广告），提供高质量的广告确保了更好的用户体验，并导致更长的用户参与。因此，这些广告的自动评估是音频广告排名和更好的音频广告创作的重要一步。在本文中，我们提出了一种使用称为长点击率(LCR)的代理度量来度量音频广告质量的方法，该度量是由用户参与后续显示广告（即在音频广告播放时显示）的时间除以印象来定义的。我们稍后将重点放在仅使用从原始波形中提取的音频的和声、节奏和音色等声学特征来预测音频广告质量上。最后，我们提出了一个用于音频广告质量预测的深度学习模型，该模型优于其他基于手工特征训练的模型。据我们所知，这是第一个大规模的音频广告质量预测研究。

英文摘要：
  Online audio advertising is a particular form of advertising used abundantly in online music streaming services. In these platforms, which tend to host tens of thousands of unique audio advertisements (ads), providing high quality ads ensures a better user experience and results in longer user engagement. Therefore, the automatic assessment of these ads is an important step toward audio ads ranking and better audio ads creation. In this paper we propose one way to measure the quality of the audio ads using a proxy metric called Long Click Rate (LCR), which is defined by the amount of time a user engages with the follow-up display ad (that is shown while the audio ad is playing) divided by the impressions. We later focus on predicting the audio ad quality using only acoustic features such as harmony, rhythm, and timbre of the audio, extracted from the raw waveform. We discuss how the characteristics of the sound can be connected to concepts such as the clarity of the audio ad message, its trustworthiness, etc. Finally, we propose a new deep learning model for audio ad quality prediction, which outperforms the other discussed models trained on hand-crafted features. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale audio ad quality prediction study.
