Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, including identifying user subscriptions that meet at least one criterion of a plurality of criteria for detecting subscriptions that are no longer active, classifying the user subscriptions into a first group and a second group, where user subscriptions in the first group have at least one context factor associated with the at least one criterion, matching the user subscriptions of the second group with data of unavailable users to produce a third group of user subscriptions, where the user subscriptions of the third group are successfully matched with some of the data of unavailable users.
Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for ranking cookies. A plurality of cookies associated with accessing web content is identified. For each cookie of the identified plurality of cookies, one or more attributes of the cookie are determined, and a weight is assigned to the cookie based on the determined one or more attributes of the cookie.

Abstract:
Social networking applications may provide an enhanced user experience by considering information regarding the language preference of a user as well as other signals. According to the implementations disclosed herein, one or more signals may be utilized to determine the language in which content may be displayed to a user of a social networking application or website. A first language preference for a user may be determined based on at least one signal. A second language preference may be determined for a social graph component of the social networking application based on at least one signal. The first language preference may be compared to the second language preference and a weighted value may be assigned to the social graph component. The social graph component of the social networking application may be presented based upon the weighted value assigned to the social graph component.
Abstract:
User content access management and control are described, including determining, based on a user-defined rule, that a triggering event has occurred, wherein the user-defined rule is associated with an account that belongs to the user, and the user-defined rule comprises an action to be performed based on a triggering event; and performing the action based on the triggering event, wherein the action affects access to the account.
Abstract:
A technique for translating a portion of a website includes receiving a language set of a user indicating a primary language of the user is received. A content feed to be displayed to the user is received and parsed to identify a text portion of a user generated content. The original language of the text portion is determined and compared with the one or more languages in the language set. When the original language of the text portion does not match the languages in the language set: (i) the text portion, the original language, and the primary language are provided to a translation engine, (ii) a translated version of the text portion is received from the translation engine, (iii) the translated version of the text portion is inserted into the content feed to obtain a modified content feed, and (iv) the modified content feed is displayed to the user.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing personal knowledge panels. One of the methods includes receiving, at an Internet search system, a search query. Multiple search results identifying Internet resources indexed by the search system that satisfy the query are obtained. If the search query matches a name of a user that submitted the search query, a ranking of one or more of the search results and a personal knowledge panel comprising one or more items of user provided information about the user is provided, wherein the personal knowledge panel includes multiple input fields for updating the user provided information of the knowledge panel. Updated user information that was provided using the input fields of the personal knowledge panel is received, and the updated user information is associated with an account of the user.
Abstract:
Online account reset, rollback, and backup are described, including receiving from a user, by one or more computing devices, a request to alter an online account associated with the user; identifying, based on the request, at least a portion of data associated with the user and the online account, the at least the portion of data identified as being within a time window defined by the user; and in response to the request, modifying, using the one or more computing devices, the at least the portion of data within the time window.
