Abstract: A system and method is described for large scale entity-specific classification of each entity-specific set of candidates in a collection of candidates for each specific entity in a collection of entities. The collection of entities may comprise a specific category or domain of entities (e.g. schools, restaurants, manufacturers, products, events, people). Candidates may comprise webpages or other resources with resource identifiers. Entity specific sets of candidates may be found by leveraging search engine query results and user interaction therewith for queries based on entity-specific attributes. The relationship(s) or class(es) for which candidate resources are being classified relative to a specific entity may comprise an authoritative, official home page (OHP), or other class (e.g. fan page, review, aggregator) relative to a specific entity. A feature generator generates entity-specific features for candidates.

Abstract: Methods and system for providing social feeds from a plurality of third party sites to a user at a host site includes retrieving one or more access logs capturing online behavior of the user. The access logs are analyzed to determine the user's interactive behavioral pattern related to social feeds from each of the plurality of third party sites. A refresh schedule for the user is computed to refresh cache entries of social feeds at the host site based on the analysis of the user's online behavior at the social feeds. Cache entries of social feeds for the user are refreshed at the host site from the one or more of the plurality of third party sites at an allotted time specified by the refresh schedule.
