20120197834 | ESTIMATING RELATEDNESS IN SOCIAL NETWORK - To facilitate the estimation of relatedness between nodes of a graph, implementations estimate relatedness between nodes in a graph by pre-computing for a subset of sample nodes (e.g., center nodes) a plurality of transition probabilities between each sample node and each of the other nodes in the graph, and then later when queried the implementations calculate in real-time the resultant estimated transition probability between the first node and the second node through the at least one sample node based on the pre-computed transition probabilities. | 08-02-2012 |
20120288036 | PREDICTING VALUES IN SEQUENCE - Multiple data prediction strategies are received. Each data prediction strategy may predict a next data value in a sequence of data values with a corresponding confidence value. Rather than rely on a single prediction strategy, the predictions of each of the data prediction strategies are linearly combined to generate a single prediction that is more accurate and has a lower overall loss than any of the individual prediction strategies. Further, a deviation is calculated based on the values in the sequence of values that have been observed so far using a weighted sum that favors more recent values in the sequence over less recent values in the sequence. A prediction of the next value in the sequence is generated based on the combined strategies and the calculated deviation. | 11-15-2012 |
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 |
20130086057 | SOCIAL NETWORK RECOMMENDED CONTENT AND RECOMMENDING MEMBERS FOR PERSONALIZED SEARCH RESULTS - Architecture that provides a data structure to facilitate personalized ranking over recommended content (e.g., documents). The data structure approximates the social distance of the searching user to the content at query time. A graph is created of content recommended by members of the social network, where the nodes of the graph include content nodes (for the content) and recommending member nodes (for members of the social network who recommended the content). If a member recommends content, an edge is created between the member node and the content node. If a member is a “friend” (tagged as related in some way) of another member, an edge is created between the two member nodes. Each node is converted to a lower dimensional feature set. Feature sets of the content are indexed and the feature set of the searching user is utilized to match and rank the search results at query time. | 04-04-2013 |
20140104278 | GENERATING A SPARSIFIER USING GRAPH SPANNERS - A sparsifier is generated from a union of multiple spanners of a graph. The edges of the sparsifier are weighted based on a measure of connectivity called robust connectivity. The robust connectivity of a node pair is the highest edge sampling probability at which a distance between the pair is likely to drop below a specified length. Each spanner is generated from a subgraph of the graph that is generated using a decreasing sampling probability. For the weight of each edge, a spanner is determined where an estimated distance between the nodes associated with the edge is greater than a threshold distance. The sampling probability of the subgraph used to generate the spanner is an estimate of the robust connectivity of the edge. The weight of the edge is set to the inverse of the estimated robust connectivity. | 04-17-2014 |
