Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include systems for generating personalized avatar reactions during live video broadcasts. For example, the systems and methods described herein can access a social networking system user's profile to identify an avatar associated with the social networking system user. The systems and methods can generate an avatar reaction by modifying one or more features of the avatar based on a corresponding emoticon reaction. Once generated, the social networking system user can select the avatar reaction for addition to an ephemeral reaction stream associated with a live video broadcast. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate population reach from marginals. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to determine an audience relationship value based on first audience exposure values for a recorded audience of a media and a first de-duplicated audience value for the recorded audience of the media, determine bounds of a pseudo universe estimate of a population audience of the media based on the audience relationship value and second audience exposure values for the population audience of the media, and iteratively determine the pseudo universe estimate of the population audience and a second de-duplicated audience value for the population audience of the media based on the audience relationship value and the second audience exposure values, the pseudo universe estimate of the population audience to be within the bounds.
