For undirected graphs, each sketch for a node may include an indicator of a node from a seed set of nodes and the shortest distance between the node and the indicated node. When a request is received for the shortest distance between two nodes of the graph, the sketches for each of the two nodes are retrieved, and nodes that are indicated in both of the sketches are determined. The distances between each of the two nodes and a determined node as indicated in the sketches is summed for each of the determined nodes, and the sum having the least distance is selected as the estimated shortest distance between the two nodes. | 08-18-2011 |
20110246439 | AUGMENTED QUERY SEARCH - A query is annotated with a small sketch (e.g. a Bloom filter) that approximates a set of interest that is related to the query.

Each of the index servers may filter documents using the sketch before returning results for aggregation. The sketch is designed so there may be false positives (results returned by authors not in the set), but no false negatives (all relevant results are returned). The final aggregated results set may be checked against the full set to remove false positives before returning the final results to the user. | 10-06-2011 |
20120299925 | DETERMINING AFFINITY IN SOCIAL NETWORKS - A graph is generated based on a social networking application with a node for each user account, and one or more edges representing the social networking relationships between the user accounts (e.g., friends). A sketch is generated for each node in iterations where edges are removed from the graph and a set of reachable nodes is determined for the node. A representative node is then selected from the set of reachable nodes and added to the sketch as a dimension. The generated sketches for two nodes are used to calculate an affinity score between the accounts associated with each of the two nodes. | 11-29-2012 |
20130054640 | CONSIDERING DOCUMENT ENDORSEMENTS WHEN PROCESSING QUERIES - User accounts in a social networking application are divided into highly-connected accounts and regular accounts. A mapping of the highly-connected accounts to their friends, and a mapping of accounts to documents endorsed by the users associated with the accounts are stored on index servers of a search engine. When a query is received by a front-end server of the search engine, the front-end server determines if an account associated with the query is a highly-connected account. If it is, only an identifier of the account is sent to the index servers with the query. If it is not, however, then identifiers of all of the accounts that are friends with the account are sent with the query. The index servers then determine the documents that are endorsed by the friends of the account, and consider the determined documents when selecting documents that are responsive to the query. | 02-28-2013 |

20080307306 | CONTACT PICKER INTERFACE - An interface for enabling a user to quickly access contact information automatically displays a list of expected contacts that are most likely to be selected by the user when attention is directed to an appropriate object requiring contact information. When a contact is selected, the corresponding and appropriate contact information is automatically entered. If a user does not select a listed contact, but instead begins manually typing in the contact information then the interface performs a search and displays a list of unexpected contacts having contact information matching the typed input from the user. Various criteria can be used to identify which contacts will be presented to the user and how they will be presented. | 12-11-2008 |
20100192165 | ASCERTAINING DOMAIN CONTEXTS - Various embodiments pertain to ascertaining domain contexts. In one embodiment, an application receives content that may contain a script (i.e. code). In this case, the domain context is ascertained and the script is executed in the context of the domain associated with the received content, rather than requiring the application or some other component to navigate to a location, such as a web location, to attempt to ascertain the domain context of the script. In another embodiment, third party objects or code are required to provide their domain context to an application in order for the application to make a security-based decision. | 07-29-2010 |
