Patent number: 10719565Abstract: Particular embodiments may receive one or more data items associated with a first user of a social-networking system. The one or more data items being related to an entity. One or more data stores may store a social graph of the social-networking system. The social graph may comprise a plurality of nodes and plurality of edges between nodes. The nodes may comprise user nodes corresponding to users of the social-networking system and concept nodes corresponding to concepts. Particular embodiments may identify one or more nodes of the social graph that likely match the entity and associate at least one of the data items to at least one of the identified nodes.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Hisham Rabih Harik, Kiranjit Singh Sidhu, Hao Xu, Javier Olivan Lopez

Patent number: 10528676Abstract: Translations for items of user-generated content are received from one or more users associated with a social networking system and/or one or more machine-generated translations. Each translation may translate a content item from a source or original language to a target language. Votes regarding the suitability of the translations are received from one or more users. In one aspect, the option to provide translations and/or vote on translations is provided to those users that are determined to be competent in the source language of the item of user-generated content. Determination of whether a user is competent in the source language can be based on the user profile of the user, the user-generated content of the user, the language competencies of the user's connections, and/or other social signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: James M.

Patent number: 8751213Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for translating text in a social network. In one embodiment translations of text phrases are received from members of the social network. These text phrases include content displayed in a social networking system, such as content from social networking objects. A particular member is provided with content including a text phrase in a first language, and the member requests translation into another language. Responsive to this request, a translation of the text phrase is selected from a set of available translations. The selection is based on actions by friends of the member in the social network, the actions being associated with the set of available translations. These actions can the viewing of or approval of translations by the friends, for example. The selected translation is then presented to the member requesting the translation.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Yishan Wong, Stephen M.

Publication number: 20040156556Abstract: The invention relates to an image processing method for optically displaying information and/or signals, whereby a source image (10) is transformed into a target image (10″) that is distorted or deformed in relation to the source image. According to the invention, a deformation vector (11), which determines a deformation direction, is defined in the source image (10) and a respective corresponding co-ordinate position is determined in the target image for each image pixel of the source image (10) according to a functional transformation rule that is dependent on said deformation vector (11) and to a scaling factor (31) that takes into consideration the position of each image pixel in relation to the deformation vector (11). Preferably, the scaling factor (31) has an elliptical functional form.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: August 12, 2004Inventor: Javier Olivan Lopez
