Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to apply a machine learning model to predict an age division for a user based on user information. An age bracket within the age division including a largest number of connections of the user can be determined. The determined age bracket can be assigned for the user.

Abstract: A social networking system receives a selection of user characteristics defining a benchmark audience and a target audience, and generates audience metrics that compare the audiences across a set of user characteristics. These user characteristics include demographics, interests, purchasing activity, and actions on the social networking system. The audience metrics are provided to an advertiser who may select additional user characteristics to refine the benchmark or target audiences. The audience metrics may include an affinity score that compares the audience metrics for a particular type of interaction, and may normalize the frequency of interactions relative to interactions of the audience as a whole. Advertisers may use the defined audiences to establish targeting criteria for an advertisement, and may use existing targeting criteria to seed the selection of an audience.
