Abstract: In order to increase engagement of members with other members in the on-line social network system, a connection suggestions system is provided to help members effortlessly explore and connect with groups of people similar to them. In one embodiment, the connection suggestions system is configured to generate so-called cohorts of member profiles with respect to a subject member profile and include a visualization of the cohorts in a suggested network user interface (UI). The suggested network UI is generated to also include one or more visual controls actionable to permit the subject member to submit a connection request with respect to one or more of the member profiles included in the cohort.
