Abstract: In an example embodiment, a deep learning algorithm is introduced that operates on a transition matrix formed from user activities in an online network. The transition matrix records the frequencies that particular transitions between paths of user activity have occurred (e.g., the user performed a login activity, which has one path in the network, and then performed a profile view action, which has another path in the network). Each transition matrix corresponds to a different user's activities.
