  • Patent number: 11397763
    Abstract: An online system is configured to recommend a live video to a target user by presenting the live video in the target user's newsfeed or other location. The online system receives a plurality of live videos for streaming to its users. To recommend a live video, the online system dynamically identifies a topic of each of the plurality of live videos during the streaming. The online system further selects a group of candidate live videos, each of which has an identified topic matching an interest of the target user. The online system ranks the candidates based on a probability that the target user would positively interact with each candidate live video if the candidate live video is presented to the target user. Then the online system provides a candidate above a threshold level in the ranking for display to the target user, e.g., in a newsfeed of the target user.

  • Patent number: 10368132
    Abstract: An online system provides video recommendations to a target user of the online system as a supplement to videos provided to the target user that were posted by the user's connections in the online system. The recommended videos are selected from publicly available video content and are likely to be of interest to the target user. The online system has video candidate generators that select video candidates based on a variety of selection criteria. The selected video candidates are filtered to identify inappropriate content or videos that the target user has already viewed for elimination from candidacy. The filtered video candidates are ranked based on weights of features of the video candidates. Based on the ranking, the online system selects videos above a threshold as recommendations to the target user.

  • Publication number: 20190215568
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to generate a set of media content items associated with at least one of a particular media content item or a user viewing the particular media content item. A plurality of content generators can be utilized to generate a plurality of subsets of media content items. Each of the plurality of content generators can identify a respective subset out of the plurality of subsets of media content items based on at least one of information associated with the particular media content item or information associated with the user viewing the particular media content item. At least some media content items in at least some of the plurality of subsets of media content items can be ranked based on respective information associated with each media content item.
