Abstract: A computer-implemented framework and/or system for cyberbullying detection is disclosed. The system includes two main components: (1) A representation learning network that encodes the social media session by exploiting multi-modal features, e.g., text, network, and time; and (2) a multi-task learning network that simultaneously fits the comment inter-arrival times and estimates the bullying likelihood based on a Gaussian Mixture Model. The system jointly optimizes the parameters of both components to overcome the shortcomings of decoupled training. The system includes an unsupervised cyberbullying detection model that not only experimentally outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised models, but also achieves competitive performance compared to supervised models.

Abstract: A method to facilitate invoicing for transactions established utilizing a network-based transaction system includes supporting establishment of transactions between a plurality of entities in the network-based transaction system, and identifying as part of an invoice generation process, a plurality of transactions to which a first entity is a party. The method further includes identifying first and second transactions from the plurality of transactions that satisfy combinable criteria, and generating an invoice for at least the first and second transactions that satisfy the combinable criteria. The method can also be implemented in a system and on a machine-readable medium.

Abstract: Methods for facilitating financial transactions include facilitating or otherwise increasing the ease and speed of checkout processes. In particular, one or more implementations comprise an e-commerce payment facilitator that acts as an intermediary between a commerce application and a payment gateway. The e-commerce payment facilitator can provide stored payment information to a commerce application based on a few simple selections by a user. This allows a user to easily and securely complete commerce transactions, which simplifies the user's checkout experience and reduces barriers to purchase. Furthermore, the e-commerce payment facilitator can pass payment details to the commerce application's payment gateway. In addition to the foregoing, methods involve dynamically and intelligently providing a user the option of using payment information stored by the network application.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to marketing products through a social networking system. More specifically, one or more embodiments of the present invention relate to allowing social networking users to purchase products through the social networking system and to add products to shopping carts associated with third-party merchants.

Abstract: A social networking system presents suggestions to a user of a social networking system to use or install one or more applications accessible in the system. The social networking system offers suggestions by ranking candidate applications for a particular user and selecting applications to recommend based on the rankings. Advertisers associated with some applications may bid to boost the rankings of an application, making it more likely to appear for a given user.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and method for managing social networking system for-sale groups. For example, systems and method described herein identify sale listings within social networking system for-sale groups and aggregates the identified sale listings into a personal town square for a particular social networking system user. Furthermore, systems and methods can reorder the personal town square based on likes and interests of the social networking system user.

Abstract: A method to facilitate invoicing for transactions established utilizing a network-based transaction system includes supporting establishment of transactions between a plurality of entities in the network-based transaction system, and identifying as part of an invoice generation process, a plurality of transactions to which a first entity is a party. The method further includes identifying first and second transactions from the plurality of transactions that satisfy combinable criteria, and generating an invoice for at least the first and second transactions that satisfy the combinable criteria. The method can also be implemented in a system and on a machine-readable medium.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a server computing device receiving a plurality of notifications from a plurality of software applications on a client computing device associated with a user. The server computing device correlates each received notification with the user and stores information associated with the correlated notification in a database. At least some of the information, as stored in the database, is configured to be used for targeting at least one advertisement with interactable social-networking system functionalities to the user, where interacting with the advertisement causes information about the interaction to be displayed in a profile page of the user on the social-networking system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a server computing device receiving several notifications from several different software applications on a client computing device associated with a user. A notification is sent by a software application on a client computing, indicates a user interaction with a software application has occurred, and identifies the application sending the notification. The server correlates each received notification with the appropriate user and stores information associated with the correlated notification.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for identifying sold indicators within for-sale groups hosted by a social networking system. For example, systems and methods described herein identify information and social networking activities associated with a sale listing to determine whether an item advertised by the sale listing has been sold. Furthermore, systems and methods can prompt a seller associated with the sale listing to take action with regard to the sale listing in response to a determination that the item advertised by the sale listing has been sold.

Abstract: A social networking system leverages information obtained regarding user interactions with applications hosted through the social networking system as well as information obtained regarding purchases of application-related digital items and digital currencies to provide insight into user behavior. The social networking system can use these insights to enhance the user's experience of the applications, purchases, and the social networking system generally. For example, the social networking system can customize transaction flows, provide credit referrals, and provide users with aggregated yet personally tailored sales information.

Abstract: An application executing on a mobile device, such as an application associated with a social networking system provides a link to install a third-party application. The link may be presented in an advertisement, and the link is used to retrieve data comprising a client application for execution by the mobile device. To track installations, the client application stores an indication that the client application was installed in a shared memory location on the mobile device, as native applications do not have access to cookies. A social networking application executing on the mobile device retrieves the indication the client application was installed from the shared memory location and communicates it to a social networking system for storing in a user profile.
