Abstract: Techniques for reducing electronic resource consumption using search data are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: identifying a cohort of profiles from profiles based on a determination that at least one attribute is shared among the profile data of the cohort; receiving corresponding search appearance data including an impression count for the cohort of profiles; selecting reference profiles from the cohort based on the impression counts of the reference profiles; selecting a target profile from the cohort based on the impression count of the target profile; identifying a trend corresponding to at least one feature among the reference profiles; and causing an indication of the feature(s) to be displayed on a computing device of the user of the target profile based on the identifying of the trend.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for improving use of a social network. During operation, the system identifies skills that are trending within a social network based on usage features associated with usage of the skills in the social network. Next, the system matches one or more of the skills to member features for a member of the social network. The system then outputs a recommendation of the skill(s) to the member.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for improving use of a social network. During operation, the system obtains job histories for members of the social network. Next, the system aggregates a set of job transitions in the job histories to obtain a set of job transition trends associated with the members. The system then matches a job transition trend in the set of job transition trends to member features for a member of the social network. Finally, the system outputs the job transition trend as a recommendation for advancing a career of the member.
