Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a computing system accessing a content item associated with a content provider, the content item having a first set of attributes and a second set of attributes. The system may generate, using a first machine-learning model, a first ranking score of the content item for a user based on the first set of attributes. The system may generate cluster representations of the second set of attributes of the content item. The system may generate, using a second machine-learning model, a second ranking score of the content item for the user based on the cluster representations. The system may generate, using a third machine-learning model, a third ranking score of the content item for the user based on the first ranking score and the second ranking score. The system may select the content item for presentation to the user based on the third ranking score.

Abstract: A workflow development system is described that provides a developer with a search utility for finding steps for inclusion in a workflow. The system also automatically generates a meaningful name and/or graphical representation for a workflow. The system also provides a graphical user interface that represents output parameters of a first workflow step as user-interactive objects. These objects can be interacted with to cause the objects to be inserted into a data entry element that is used to specify a value for an input parameter of a second workflow step. When executable logic representing the first and second workflow steps is generated, the insertion of the objects into the data entry element has the effect of causing the value of the input parameter of the second workflow step to be defined to include the values of the output parameters that correspond to the inserted objects.

Abstract: A workflow development system is described herein that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that is configured to selectively and dynamically allocate relatively more of a display area to a particular one of a plurality of different, simultaneously-displayed workflow step representations than is allocated to the other workflow step representation(s) to facilitate user interaction the particular workflow step representation. Such allocation may be carried out in response to user interaction with the particular workflow step representation or in response to a determination that a user is otherwise focused on the particular workflow step representation. In embodiments, the workflow step representations represent different workflow steps in a series of workflow steps. In further embodiments, the workflow step representations represent different workflow steps that may be performed depending upon the evaluation of a condition.

Abstract: Embodiments for managing, serving, and applying logging adapters for applications are described. An administrator for an application can establish mappings between the application and adapters that handle log events from the application. When the application executes, it can get these mappings and use them to obtain the corresponding adapters. The adapters can have a configuration function and a logging function. The configuration function can be executed once per-execution of the application to establish a global state for the logging function of that adapter. The configuration function can receive configuration data provided with the mappings. Thereafter, as the application generates log events, they can be passed to the logging functions of the mapped adapters, which execute to perform logging such as analytics functions, on the events, whether locally or by sending the events to third parties.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for customizing an electronic communication to include an option to make an online donation to a charitable cause, based on evaluating donation histories, and providing the customized communication to one or more recipients. The systems and methods described herein further customize electronic communications for multiple recipients such that the systems and methods provide each recipient with an option to contribute that is based on the individual donation history of the recipient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for developing user applications that include workflows, and in particular, for developing the user applications and workflows in parallel. A first user interface is provided on a display screen that enables a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user application to be configured. Controls are enabled to be selected for inclusion in the GUI of the user application. Workflow logic is enabled to be associated with a control included in the GUI. A second user interface is provided on the display screen concurrent with the first user interface. The second user interface enables the workflow logic to be generated. Steps are enabled to be selected for inclusion in the workflow logic. Each step is configured to operate on data entered via the GUI and/or data of another step of the workflow logic.

Abstract: An application analytics generation system employs data stored in a social networking system's social graph to automatically predict outcomes based on various observed attributes, and transmit these predictions to a social networking system's user interface, e.g., in a newsfeed, for an advertiser or application developer. These predictions correlate various attributes and/or actions to outcomes, e.g., in relation to advertisements or applications.
