Patent number: 11140232Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a location history of a user of a social-networking system. The social-networking system includes a social graph that includes multiple nodes and edges connecting the nodes. At least node corresponds to the user. The method includes accessing a data set from a third-party source independent of the social-networking system. The data set references one or more locations. The method includes comparing the location history of the user with the locations referenced by the data set to determine an overlap between the location history and the data set and determining based on the comparison one or more labels to assign to the user or to one or more locations where the location history and the data set overlap.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Scott J. Bratsman, Aude Hofleitner, Jacob Perkowski, Tsuwei Chen

Patent number: 10949771Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can collect past user information and churn data for a plurality of users. A churn prediction model is trained using the past user information and churn data. A churn propensity score is calculated for a present user based on the churn prediction model, the churn propensity score indicative of the likelihood of the present user to churn.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Gonguet, Aude Hofleitner, Sofus Attila Macskassy, Steven James Jarrett, Aruna Bharathi, Zhiliang Ma

Publication number: 20200043046Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes analyzing social graph information associated with users of a social-networking system, developing feature vectors describing elements of social graph information, and applying the feature vectors to determine the relevance of elements of social graph information to the location of special relevance. The method further includes receiving at least one data point from a user's networked device, applying the feature vectors to the at least one data point to determine the relevance of the at least one data point to the location of special relevance, and assigning weight to each data point based on the determined relevance of each data point to the location of special relevance. Finally, the method includes processing the at least one data point according to its assigned weight and forming a prediction, to a particular degree of certainty, indicating the user's location of special relevance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Tsuwei Chen, Qizhen Ruan, Roy Koonammave Jose, Scott J. Bratsman, William Bullock, Aude Hofleitner, Yoav Shapira, Mostafa Keikha

Patent number: 10437876Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire shape data representative of one or more polygons. At least one serialization format can be produced based on the shape data. The at least one serialization format can be packaged into a proprietary package that is representative of the one or more polygons. At least a portion of the proprietary package can be utilized for one or more applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Bogdan State, Aude Hofleitner, Andreas Gros

Patent number: 10375198Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, for each of multiple interactions by a user with an online service, collecting: device information describing a device used by the user for the interaction; access information describing how the user accessed the online service for the interaction; and a count value of the interaction. The method further includes determining based on the collected information a historical count value for each of one or more particular combinations of device and access information.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventor: Aude Hofleitner

Patent number: 10321261Abstract: Techniques for wireless transmitter location detection are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a location database generator component. The location database generator component may comprise: a logging component operative on the processor circuit to receive a plurality of location data packages, the location data packages comprising locations and associated wireless transmitter identifiers, and to log the location data packages into a location database, the location database comprising a plurality of tuples of the locations and the wireless transmitter identifiers; and an analysis component operative on the processor circuit to construct a transmitter mapping from wireless transmitter identifiers to locations based on the plurality of tuples of the location database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Aude Hofleitner, Pierre Moreels

Publication number: 20180144349Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine a geographical region associated with a service provider. An average value of a metric for subscribers of the service provider in the geographical region can be determined, where the subscribers include users of a system. A demographic subset of the subscribers can be determined based on one or more attributes associated with the subscribers. A skew score for the demographic subset can be determined, where the skew score is indicative of a variation of the demographic subset from the average value of the metric.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2016Publication date: May 24, 2018Inventors: Aude Hofleitner, Bogdan State, Vincent Gonguet, Andreas Gros, Timothee Charles Carnus

Patent number: 9787781Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems store an identifier for a user device when the user device is determined to be accessing a network service and store a time at which the user device is determined to be accessing the network service for each instance of the user device being determined to be accessing the network service. Periods of time during each day of the week in which the user device is likely to accessing to the network service are determined based upon the stored identifier and times. Whether the user is likely to access the network service while at work or at home is determined based upon the determined periods of time in which user devices are likely to be accessing the network service.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2013Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Aude Hofleitner, Zoe Abrams Bayen
