Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a plurality of candidate entities for recommendation to a user of a social networking system. A predicted activity objective value model configured to calculate activity stores for candidate entities is established. The activity score is indicative of the probability of future activity on the social networking system by a candidate entity. A first activity score is determined for each of the plurality of candidate entities based on the predicted activity object value model and a first set of feature values. A second activity score is determined for each of the plurality of candidate entities based on the predicted activity object value model and a second set of feature values that is different from the first set of feature values. A first entity is selected of the plurality of candidate entities based on the first and second activity scores.
