Publication number: 20140372358Abstract: User profile information for a user of a social networking system is inferred based on information about user profile of the user's connections in the social networking system. The inferred user profile attributes may include age, gender, education, affiliations, location, and the like. To infer a value of a user profile attribute, the system may determine an aggregate value based on the attributes of the user's connections. A confidence score may also be associated with the inferred attribute value. The set of connections analyzed to infer a user profile attribute may depend on the attribute, the types of connections, and the interactions between the user and the connections. The inferred attribute values may be used to update the user's profile and to determine information relevant to the user to be presented to the user (e.g., targeting advertisements to the user based on the user's inferred attributes).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Ding Zhou, Pierre Moreels

Publication number: 20140351343Abstract: Applications in social networks support interaction between members through various types of channels such as notifications, newsfeed, and so forth. For each channel, applications are ranked based on their user affinity measures. User affinity is based on measuring positive and negative interactions by users as both senders and recipients of messages generated by applications. Metrics are computed for the different types of messages and interactions provided by applications. For each channel, an application receives user affinity score based on specific weighted combination of the metrics. Applications use channel resources to send messages to increase their user base. Given the large number of applications that are available, the extent to which applications are allowed to use channels is controlled, limiting their resource consumption. User affinity scores of applications calculated for a channel are used to decide the allocation of channel resources for an application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Thomas Scott Whitnah, Alexander Matthew Rush, Ding Zhou, Ruchi Sanghvi

Publication number: 20140040377Abstract: The techniques, methods and systems described herein facilitate the automated discovery and presentation of content created, published or otherwise made public by “experts” and key influencers on particular topics. As such, users that may be interested in particular topics but may not know who to connect with in order to receive the most pertinent information can receive highly-relevant information. Embodiments of the invention use topics of interest identified by the user and/or automatically identifies topics based on previous postings, communication, contacts, etc. Individuals, companies, organizations and other entities that have been recognized as highly influential in those topics are identified and, without explicit actions by the user, adds content generated by the influential entities to the user's content data feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: Klout, Inc.Inventors: David Friedman, Girish Lingappa, Alexy Khrabrov, Jerome Banks, Andras Benke, Nemanja Spasojevic, Adithya Shricharan Rao, Ding Zhou

Publication number: 20140019240Abstract: A social networking system extends the reach of an ad by allowing an advertiser to seed a search for suggesting targeting criteria for an ad. Using the seeds, the social networking system identifies a set of seed objects from a social graph. The social networking system traverses the social graph to compute the similarity between the seed objects and candidate objects related to the seed objects. Based on the computed similarity, the social networking system suggests a set of target objects to the advertiser. The social networking system receives a selection of one or more target objects from the advertiser. From the selected target objects the social networking system determines one or more targeting criteria for the ad, so users with an edge in the social graph to any of the selected target objects are eligible to receive the ad.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventor: Ding Zhou

Publication number: 20130124447Abstract: A social networking system infers a user's present interests based on the user's recent actions and/or the recent actions of the user's connections in the social networking system. The social networking system also determines a set of concepts associated with each of a set of information items, such as advertisements. By matching the user's present interests with the concepts associated with the information items, the social networking system selects one or more of the information items that are likely to be of present interest to the user. At least one of the matched interests and concepts are not identical. The social networking system then presents the selected information items for display to the user, thereby providing information based on an inferred temporal relevance of that information to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: May 16, 2013Inventors: Gregory Joseph Badros, Rajat Raina, Ding Zhou, Tudor Andrei Alexandrescu, Nuwan Senaratna, Hong Ge, Chi Wang, Alon Amit, John Hegeman
