Abstract: Disclosed are implementations for ranking a feed in a social network. In one aspect, a method of generating a feed includes identifying a group of users associated with a first user, identify notifications for the first user based on the group of users, determine one or more actions that may result from each of the identified notifications, rank the notifications based on the one or more determined actions; and display the notifications to the first user according to the ranking.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for annotating a collection of media items, such as digital images. According to some embodiments, an annotation system automatically determines one or more annotations for a plurality of media content items, and generates a collection of media content items that associates the determined annotations with the plurality of media content items. Depending on the embodiment, annotations that may be determined for the plurality of media content (and associated with the collection for the media content items) can include, without limitation, a caption, a geographic location, a category, a novelty measurement, an event, and a highlight media content item representing the collection.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that improve media content search functionality and curation of media content. For instance, various embodiments described in this document provide features that can present media content items in the form of dynamic collection of media content items upon a user typing into a search bar. In another instance, various embodiments described herein improve media content search functionality by ranking user facing search features using input signals.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide for associating a collection of media items with a graphical element. For instance, a system can: generate corpus data from a set of features of a collection of media content items; determine a set of candidate graphical elements for the collection of media content items based on the corpus data and further based on a set of first mappings associating at least one graphical element and at least one n-gram; determine a set of prediction scores corresponding to the set of candidate graphical elements based on the set of features; determine a ranking for the set of candidate graphical elements based on the set of prediction stores; select a set of predicted graphical elements, from the set of candidate graphical elements, based on the ranking; and provide the set of predicted graphical elements in association with the collection of media content items.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for scaled delivery of media content. The systems and methods assign a set of proposed designations to a plurality of media content. The systems and methods select a set of media content from the plurality of media content based on the set of proposed designations and distribute a subset of media content of the set of media content to a selected user of a plurality of users. The subset of media content is presented at a computing device associated with the selected user. The systems and methods receive a set of indicators for each media content of the subset of media content. Each indicator represents an interaction with a media content of the subset of media content. The systems and methods cause presentation of an interaction notification at the computing device associated with the selected user.
