Publication number: 20230297808Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes generating a functional subgraph of a network from a structural graph of the network. The structural graph comprises a set of vertices and structural connections between the vertices. Generating the functional subgraph includes identifying a directed functional edge of the functional subgraph based on presence of structural connection and directional communication of information across the same structural connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Michael Wolfgang Reimann, Max Christian Nolte, Henry Markram, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Ran Levi

Publication number: 20230280159Abstract: An imaging survey platform utilizes imaging sensors arranged in one or more arcs to capture nadir and oblique views as required for photogrammetric processing into image maps and 3D surface maps, where a common primary lens subsystem is used by sensors within an arc. The primary lens subsystem can project onto a curved (e.g., spherical) surface rather than onto a planar surface. This solves a limiting first order optical problem for airborne or spaceborne image capture. To fill missing data between sensors edges on an arc, a second and offset arc of sensors or a scanning mirror in front of the primary mirror system can be used. Each imaging sensor can be mounted on and controlled by its own computer, with this subsystem in turn may be mounted onto the arc using piezoelectric actuators to fine tune alignment image sensor relative to the primary lens subsystem.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Stuart Nixon, Max Christian Funck

Patent number: 11580482Abstract: A social networking system builds a quality controlled and desired population-representative pool of human raters to provide ratings on content items to improve a feed ranking model used for providing its users with more relevant content. The system identifies a pool of candidate human raters for providing ratings on a feed of content items. For each candidate human rater of the pool of candidate human raters, the system presents a feed of content items based on a feed ranking model, obtains ratings on the feed of content items, and determines a score representing the consistency of the obtained ratings, the representativeness of the pool of human raters, or the relevance of the content provided by the ranking model. The system uses the computed scores to modify the ranking model used to present content to its users for improving the relevance of the presented content.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Max Christian Eulenstein, Lauren Elizabeth Scissors, Alexander Peysakhovich, Lars Seren Backstrom, Lu Wang

Patent number: 10740690Abstract: An online system predicts topics for content items. The online system provides one or more topic labels for a user to apply concurrently while a user is composing a post, in response to requests periodically received from the user's device. A request includes information such as content composed by the user and contextual information. The online system employs machine learning techniques to analyze content composed by a user and contextual information thereby to predict topic labels. Different machine learning models for classifying individual topic labels, identifying relevant topic labels, and/or detecting changes in existing topic predictions are developed. Some machine learning models predict topics for full content and some predict topics for partial content. The online system trains the machine learning models to ensure accurate topic predictions are provided timely. The online system employs various machine learning model training methods such as active training and gradient training.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey William Pasternack, David Vickrey, Justin MacLean Coughlin, Prasoon Mishra, Austen Norment McDonald, Max Christian Eulenstein, Jianfu Chen, Kritarth Anand, Polina Kuznetsova

Publication number: 20170186029Abstract: An online system, such as a social networking system, displays a plurality of advertisements to users. The system selects an ad to display to a user based on a bidding system. The system receives feedback and user engagement data for an ad to compare the ad to other ads that are targeted to a similar group of users, to generate a relevance score. The relevance score can be provided to an advertiser as a way to quantify the effectiveness of the ad, and it reflects user engagement with the advertisement. In some embodiments, a projected relevance score can be calculated for a prospective advertisement by analyzing the content of the prospective ad prior to receiving user engagement data by comparing the prospective advertisement's content to other ads for which user engagement data does exist.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2015Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Cassidy Jake Morris, Max Christian Eulenstein, Tanmoy Chakraborty, Joshua Elliot Geller, Nikola Mihajlovic
