Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for attaching customizable widgets to feed items. A publisher can be displayed on a display of a device. The publisher can comprise an input area capable of receiving text, a first selection operable to cause the text to be shared in a feed as a feed item, and a second selection operable to cause a customizable widget to be attached to the feed item. The customizable widget can comprise an interactive presentation of information. The interactive presentation of the information can be configurable to be automatically modified in response to occurrence of updates associated with the information when the customizable widget is displayed as an attachment to the feed item, and the customizable widget can be configurable to be customized by authorized users of the social networking system.

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, apparatus, methods and storage media for providing customized recommendations to users. Some implementations more particularly relate to a recommendation platform that enables authorized third parties to create, customize and add new recommendations that are then available to be served to target users or audiences of users. Some implementations further relate to a recommendation platform that enables authorized users to define audiences, scheduling settings, scheduling policies, and rules to customize or influence the provision of associated recommendations to the users. The recommendation platform includes a recommendation engine that serves the recommendations to users based on such defined audiences, scheduling settings, policies or other rules.

Abstract: This invention provides methods apparatus and data structures useful for mining databases for frequent items. The invention uses a frequent pattern tree to represent the contents of a database in a manner which is conducive to data mining. The frequent pattern tree tends to be smaller than the original database. A frequent pattern tree can be mined recursively. The frequent pattern tree and associated methods and apparatus of this invention is relatively fast, efficient and scalable and can be used to mine both long and short frequent patterns.
