Publication number: 20190278821Abstract: Techniques that may be used for detecting a primary content (e.g., a web page) that the user is viewing and presenting one or more pieces of supplemental content (e.g., social media data) together with the primary content. The supplemental content presented to the user together with the primary content may be content that is matched to the primary content and therefore detected to be relevant to the user. Detection of primary content and matching to supplemental content may be carried out based on a comparison of entities related to the primary and supplemental content. In some embodiments, an analysis of the primary content for entities may include ordering entities according to significance in the primary content and selecting top entities for comparison. Also, in some embodiments, multiple pieces of supplemental content may be displayed to a user categorized based on entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Danah Doyd, Gilad Lotan, Paul Oka, Emre Mehmet Kiciman, Chun-Kai Wang

Patent number: 9256829Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for predicting propagation of a message on a social network. A predictive model is trained to determine a probability of propagation of information on the social network using both positive and negative information propagation feedback, which may be collected while monitoring the social network over a desired period of time for information propagation. A particular message can be input to the predictive model, which can determine a probability of propagation of the message on the social network, such as how many connections may receive at least a portion of the message and/or a likelihood of at least a portion of the message reaching respective connections in the social network.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2015Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Inventors: Tauhid Rashed Zaman, Jurgen Anne Francois Marie Van Gael, David Stern, Ralf Herbrich, Gilad Lotan
