Abstract

Product-centric advertisement video generation aims to create promotional videos that preserve fine-grained product identity while presenting selling points through coherent multi-shot narratives. However, this emerging task remains underexplored due to the lack of large-scale advertisement-specific datasets and comprehensive evaluation frameworks. To address this gap, we introduce \textbf{AdSpark}, a large-scale dataset and benchmark for product-centric advertisement video generation, based on data from a major e-commerce platform. \textit{AdSpark-300K} contains approximately 300K reference image--prompt--video triplets, comprising a real-world subset and a synthetic subset. Each sample provides structured advertisement annotations, including product identity annotations, selling-point descriptions, creative plans, and aligned audio scripts, enabling models to learn product preservation and advertisement-oriented visual storytelling. We further propose \textit{AdSpark-Bench}, a diagnostic benchmark that evaluates generated advertisements across six dimensions, including visual quality, product fidelity, instruction adherence, temporal coherence, audio alignment, and advertisement effectiveness. Based on AdSpark-Bench, we evaluate representative models, revealing key challenges in product preservation, multi-shot storytelling, and selling-point visualization. Experiments with AdSpark-300K-finetuned models further validate the effectiveness of our dataset. AdSpark provides a unified dataset and benchmark for future research, and we will release the dataset upon acceptance.

Design Your Ad: Personalized Advertising Image and Text Generation with Unified Autoregressive Models

Generating realistic and user-preferred advertisements is a key challenge in e-commerce. Existing approaches utilize multiple independent models driven by click-through-rate (CTR) to controllably create attractive image or text advertisements. However, their pipelines lack cross-modal perception and rely on CTR that only reflects average preferences. Therefore, we explore jointly generating personalized image-text advertisements from historical click behaviors. We first design a Unified Advertisement Generative model (Uni-AdGen) that employs a single autoregressive framework to produce both advertising images and texts. By incorporating a foreground perception module and instruction tuning, Uni-AdGen enhances the realism of the generated content. To further personalize advertisements, we equip Uni-AdGen with a coarse-to-fine preference understanding module that effectively captures user interests from noisy multimodal historical behaviors to drive personalized generation. Additionally, we construct the first large-scale Personalized Advertising image-text dataset (PAd1M) and introduce a Product Background Similarity (PBS) metric to facilitate training and evaluation. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms baselines in general and personalized advertisement generation. Our project is available at https://github.com/JD-GenX/Uni-AdGen.

AgenticGen: Reward-Guided Agentic Video Generation for Advertising

Advertising video generation is not only a video synthesis task, but also a product-conditioned reasoning problem whose success is measured by online business metrics. Recent video foundation models can generate realistic clips from multimodal conditions, yet they do not optimize how a product should be transformed into an effective advertisement or how future generation should be improved from online business feedback. To close this loop, we propose AgenticGen, a reward-guided agentic framework that decomposes advertising video generation into two trainable reasoning stages, strategy selection and draft generation, thereby exposing optimization targets that online business feedback can supervise. AgenticGen learns a performance-based reward from accumulated online feedback and a complementary rubric-based reward aligned with human quality standards, then uses them to supervise policy optimization. DPO first moves the agentic policies toward online preferences, and GRPO further refines both stages with process and outcome rewards. Offline experiments validate the reward models and successive policy optimization. Online A/B experiments in the TikTok advertising system show that AgenticGen after DPO and GRPO improves CTR by 2.72%, CVR by 2.63%, and Advv by 9.61% over the SFT baseline.

KD-CVG: A Knowledge-Driven Approach for Creative Video Generation

Creative Generation (CG) leverages generative models to automatically produce advertising content that highlights product features, and it has been a significant focus of recent research. However, while CG has advanced considerably, most efforts have concentrated on generating advertising text and images, leaving Creative Video Generation (CVG) relatively underexplored. This gap is largely due to two major challenges faced by Text-to-Video (T2V) models: (a) \textbf{ambiguous semantic alignment}, where models struggle to accurately correlate product selling points with creative video content, and (b) \textbf{inadequate motion adaptability}, resulting in unrealistic movements and distortions. To address these challenges, we develop a comprehensive Advertising Creative Knowledge Base (ACKB) as a foundational resource and propose a knowledge-driven approach (KD-CVG) to overcome the knowledge limitations of existing models. KD-CVG consists of two primary modules: Semantic-Aware Retrieval (SAR) and Multimodal Knowledge Reference (MKR). SAR utilizes the semantic awareness of graph attention networks and reinforcement learning feedback to enhance the model's comprehension of the connections between selling points and creative videos. Building on this, MKR incorporates semantic and motion priors into the T2V model to address existing knowledge gaps. Extensive experiments have demonstrated KD-CVG's superior performance in achieving semantic alignment and motion adaptability, validating its effectiveness over other state-of-the-art methods. The code and dataset will be open source at https://kdcvg.github.io/KDCVG/.
