In some examples, a computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor to receive, from a client device of a user, a request for one or more advertisements to display at the client device with a set of messages. The set of messages is associated with the user in a social network messaging service. The at least one module may be further operable to determine a probability that the user will select a candidate advertisement using a machine learning model based on point-wise learning and pair-wise learning. The at least one module may be further operable to determine, based on the probability that the user will select the candidate advertisement, a candidate score for the candidate advertisement, determine that the candidate score satisfies a threshold, and send, for display at the client device, the candidate advertisement.
