Patent number: 10395321Abstract: Online systems, for example, social networking systems evaluate expressions based on features describing relations between entities represented in the online system. These expressions are represented using an expression language. The expression language allows features to be specified as functions of attributes from user accounts. The expressions support use of variables to represent computations, for example, sub-expressions. The expressions are dynamic, since expressions can be specified and executed at call time. The same set of expressions is used many times, e.g., to compute the same function for multiple feature sets, for example, user accounts. Expressions are preferably represented using postfix representation. However some expressions, for example, expressions using variables are represented as trees. To optimize the expressions at runtime, the expressions are cached using a representation determined to be efficient for executing the expression.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Alon Michael Shalita, Ming Hua, Ryan Allen Stout

Patent number: 9846916Abstract: A user's connections in a social networking system are grouped into a number of clusters based on a measure of the connections' relationships, or affinity, to each other. The affinities among the connections are based on the connections' own relationships and indicate a likelihood that the connections are in the same social circles. The clusters are formed based on the affinities among the user's connections, where the clusters tend to have connections that have relatively high affinities with the other connections the same cluster as compared to the connections who are not in the same cluster. An iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm may be used to collapse the connections into clusters based on affinities between pairs of the connections.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2011Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Yun-Fang Juan, Ming Hua

Patent number: 9690871Abstract: Online systems, for example, social networking systems store features describing relations between entities represented in the online system. The information describing the features is represented as a graph. The online system maintains a cumulative feature graph and an incremental feature graph. Feature values based on recent user actions are stored in the incremental graph and feature values based on previous actions are stored in the cumulative graph. Periodically, the information stored in the incremental feature graph is merged with the information stored in the cumulative feature graph. The incremental graph is marked as inactive during the merge and information based on new user actions is stored in an active incremental feature graph. If a request for feature information is received, the feature information obtained from the cumulative feature graph, inactive incremental feature graph and the active incremental feature graph are combined to determine the feature information.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Ming Hua, Hong Yan
