  • Systems and methods for churn prediction
    Patent number: 10949771
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can collect past user information and churn data for a plurality of users. A churn prediction model is trained using the past user information and churn data. A churn propensity score is calculated for a present user based on the churn prediction model, the churn propensity score indicative of the likelihood of the present user to churn.
    Type: Grant

  • Determining influence in a social networking system
    Patent number: 9836761
    Abstract: An influence metric describing the influence of a social networking system object on social networking system users is determined based on affinities between the users and the object. For example, affinities between the associated users and the object are combined to determine the influence metric. Content may be selected for presentation to users based in part on influence metrics of the content. Additionally, influence metrics of objects associated with a user may be combined to determine the relevance of objects associated with the user, which may also be used to select content for presentation to the user.
