  • Patent number: 9547711
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a plurality of content types in a database of a social network, wherein members produce and request content of different content types from the database. Job types to be performed on each content type are identified, when requests for content are received from members of the social network. A sharding process for each content type is selected based on the job types to be performed on the content types. The database is sharded into first group of shards for content types having job types that are parallel processing efficient and into second group of shards for content types having job types that are linear processing efficient. The first and second group of shards define a multi-shard database. Requests for contents are serviced from the first group or the second group of shards from the multi-shard database depending on the job types associated with the requests.

  • Patent number: 9020956
    Abstract: Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods of selecting content for presentation to a viewing user. In general, in some implementations, a data processing system identifies a topic for a document requested by a user, determines a confidence score for a correlation between the topic and the document, determines a sentiment score for a sentiment towards the topic, and determines, for a candidate content item, a predicted acceptance score based on the confidence score, the sentiment score, and acceptance history data for the candidate content item. The data processing system selects a candidate content item for presentation to the user based, at least in part, on the predicted acceptance score.

  • Patent number: 8606576
    Abstract: A computing device may extract keywords from a phone call or other audio communication and later display those keywords in a call log or in a caller ID. In one example, a method performed by at least one processor of a first computing device includes receiving speech inputs during an audio communication between the first computing device and a second device. The method further includes performing speech-to-text processing on the speech inputs to generate text based on the speech inputs. The method further includes performing keyword extraction processing on the text to generate one or more keywords based on the text, that score highly as relevant indicators of the audio communication, based on one or more keyword extraction criteria. The method further includes storing the one or more keywords in association with identifying information associated with the second device.
