Patent number: 11544672Abstract: In an example embodiment an approximate nearest neighbor framework is provided to query user activity data to find users who are similar to users who have been “matched” to a particular piece of content but who otherwise would not have been matched on their own. The users who have been matched may be called a seed set of users, which are known in real-time, or near-real-time. Use of the approximate nearest neighbor framework allows the system to expand instantly the initial seed set of users to other similar users to rapidly distribute relevant pieces of content to active users, increasing liquidity of the system. Additionally, the target set of specific users to which a notification is sent about the pieces of content can also be expanded, increasing the recall rate.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mohit Wadhwa, Venkatesh Duppada, Nadeem Anjum, Nagaraj Kota
