Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the automatic generation of captions for visual media, including photos, photo albums, non-live video, and live video. The visual media may be analyzed to determine contextual information (such as location information, people and objects in the video, time, etc.). A system may integrate this information with information from the user's social network and a personalized language model built using public-facing language from the user. The personalized language model captures the user's way of speaking to make the generated captions more detailed and personalized. The language model may account for the context in which the video was generated. The captions maybe used to simplify and encourage content generation, and may also be used to index visual media, rank the media, and recommend the media to users likely to engage with the media.

Abstract: An online system ranks topic-groups for users and presents content items in topic-based feeds. A topic group corresponds to one or more topic(s) and can be used to generate a feed for presenting the content items related to the topic(s). For a particular user, the topic groups are ranked according to the likelihood of the user interacting with content items included in the topic groups. The topic groups are ranked using information of the users and/or users' historical interaction data such as click-based interaction data, post-based interaction data, or engagement-based interaction data. The online system generates and provides a user interface for presenting the topic groups to the client device. Content items that are related to the topic(s) corresponding to the topic group are presented in each topic-based feed such that the user can switch between different topic-based feeds.

Abstract: An online system receives posts that include links to various external pages and presents those posts to users of the online system. When the online system determines an opportunity to present a post to a particular viewing user of the online system, the online system determines a quality metric and an associated value score for the post. The quality metric is determined as a likelihood that the viewing user will view the external page for less than a threshold time period, and is used to adjust the associated value score. The online system compares the value score of the post to the value scores of other posts and selects one or more of the compared posts for presentation to the viewing user of the online system.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the automatic generation of captions for visual media in the form of a consistent story or narrative. According to some embodiments, story generation may be applied to a live video. As a user records live video, a system may analyze metadata, the frames of the video, and/or the audio to extract context information. The system may integrate this information with information from the user's social network and a personalized language model built using public-facing language from the user. The system may generate multiple captions for the video, where subsequent captions are based at least partially on previous captions. Captions may be generated in a story format so as to be consistent with each other. Information that is inconsistent with the story may be excluded from the captions unless contextual factors indicate that the story should change subject.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an occupancy model are disclosed. The model is learned using occupancy data for zones, each zone including cells, which are occupied or not at a given time, each with a sensor, which may be reporting or not. The data provides an observed occupancy corresponding to a number of cells in the respective zone which have reporting sensors, and the number of those sensors which are reporting that the respective cell is occupied. The occupancy model is based on a demand model and a sensor noise model which accounts for behavior of the non-reporting sensors. The noise model assumes that the probability of a sensor being in the reporting state is dependent on whether the respective cell is occupied or not. The model can fit the occupancy data better than one which assumes that non-reporting cells are occupied with the same frequency as reporting ones.

Abstract: A method operates on observed relationship data between pairs of entities of a set of entities including entities of at least two (and optionally at least three) different entity types. An observed collective symmetric matrix is constructed in which element (n,m)=element (m,n) stores the observed relationship between entities indexed n and m when the observed relationship data includes this observed relationship. A prediction collective symmetric matrix is optimized in order to minimize a loss function comparing the observed collective symmetric matrix and the prediction collective symmetric matrix. A relationship between two entities of the set of entities is predicted using the optimized prediction collective symmetric matrix. Entities of the same entity type may be indexed using a contiguous set of indices such that the entity type maps to a contiguous set of rows and corresponding contiguous set of columns in the observed collective symmetric matrix.
