Filed:

Jul 5, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/642166

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
Stephen Moore Davis - San Francisco CA, US
Nikola Vilimonovic - San Francisco CA, US
Jireh Yiwei Tan - San Francisco CA, US
Aaron Payne Goldsmid - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first query inputted by a first user at a first client system, the first query including one or more n-grams; identifying ideograms, each ideogram being associated with one or more tags, each identified ideogram being associated with at least one tag matching at least one of the n-grams of the received first query; calculating, for each identified ideogram, a use-probability for the ideogram given the received first query, wherein the use-probability is based at least in part on a frequency of use associated with the ideogram; and sending, to the first client system, instructions for presenting a first set of ideograms comprising one or more of the identified ideograms, the first set being determined based on the calculated use-probabilities associated with the ideograms.

US Patent:

20170111448, Apr 20, 2017

Filed:

Dec 30, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/395846

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
David Ferguson - El Dorado Hills CA, US
Jun Sun - Saratoga CA, US
Jireh Yiwei Tan - San Francisco CA, US
Bradley Ray Green - Snohomish WA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04W 4/20
H04W 4/08

Abstract:

A social networking system selects a set of groups for presentation to a user of the social networking system. To select groups, the social networking system determining scores for various groups representing a likelihood of the user interacting with the groups. When determining a score for a group, the social networking system accounts for a likelihood of the user providing content to the group as well as the user accessing or viewing content associated with the group. Based on the scores, one or more groups are selected and presented to the user. Additionally, the social networking system may apply one or more diversity rules so that the selected groups have a variety of characteristics.

Filed:

Jun 25, 2015

Appl. No.:

14/750509

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
Li Ju - Issaquah WA, US
Jireh Tan - San Francisco CA, US
Chen Wang - Redmond WA, US
Yi Miao - Redmond WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A social networking system selects a set of groups for presentation to a user of the social networking system. To select groups, the social networking system identifies candidate groups and selects the set of groups from the candidate groups. To identify certain candidate groups, the social networking system determines a location associated with various groups based on locations associated with users included in the group. For example, the social networking system determines a centroid of a group based on locations associated with users included in the group and associates the centroid with the group if at least a threshold percentage of distances between locations associated with users included in the group and the centroid do not exceed a threshold distance. Groups associated with locations within a threshold distance of a location associated with the user are identified as candidate groups.

Filed:

Dec 19, 2014

Appl. No.:

14/576926

Inventors:

- Menlo Park CA, US
Stephen Moore Davis - San Francisco CA, US
Nikola Vilimonovic - San Francisco CA, US
Jireh Yiwei Tan - San Francisco CA, US
Aaron Payne Goldsmid - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query inputted at a mobile device of a user of an online social network. The query may include n-grams (e.g., words, emoticons, and punctuation marks), and may be, for example, a message to another user or search terms. N-grams may be mapped to tags, which may, in turn, be mapped to ideograms (i.e., stickers). One or more ideograms may be identified based on the one or more ideogram being associated with tags matching n-grams of the query. For each of the identified ideograms, a probability quantifying how likely the user is to select the ideogram is calculated based on how frequently the ideogram has been used. A set of ideogram suggestions, including one or more of the identified ideograms, is generated based on the probabilities and sent to the user's mobile device for display to the user.
