  • Patent number: 10877976
    Abstract: An online system provides group recommendations by applying a set of sourcing rules to identify a plurality of candidate groups and then generating scores for the candidate groups. The sourcing rules can be configured to identify a relatively small subset of the groups maintained by the online system. After the candidate groups are identified, the online system generates a score for each candidate group, ranks the candidate groups based on the scores, and sends high-ranking candidate groups to the target user to be displayed as recommended groups. As a result, the online system generates a smaller number of scores, which advantageously allows for the online system to provide group recommendations to users in a more computationally efficient manner.
