    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device that corresponds to a user of an online social network, an input that comprises free-form text; determining, through application of natural-language processing of the free-form text, an affinity declaration for an object associated with the online social network; determining an affinity coefficient between respective user and the object; adjusting the determined affinity coefficient based on social-networking information of the user, wherein the social-networking information reinforces or reduces the determined affinity coefficient; and upon determining that the determined affinity coefficient is above a threshold coefficient, creating or modifying an edge connection in a social graph between a user node corresponding to the user and a concept node corresponding to the object.

    Abstract: A social networking system displays raw stories about a user's friends' actions in a news ticker as those actions occur. The social networking system is monitored for actions associated with users connected with the target user. The social networking system may be continually monitored such that actions are identified in real-time as they are performed. The news ticker is updated such that stories including the identified actions and the associated connected users are displayed within a news ticker interface. The news ticker interface may be a dedicated portion of the social networking system interface, for example in a column next to a newsfeed. The news ticker interface may be updated in real time as actions associated with connected users are performed. The target user may select a displayed story in the news ticker, and additional information related to the selected story may be displayed, for instance in a separate interface.

    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a computing device receives from each of one or more contact-information sources a set of contact information associated with a user of a social-networking system. The set of contact information includes one or more instances of contact information in one or more categories of contact information. The computing device automatically selects, in each of the categories of contact information, one of the instances of contact information from the sets of contact information as a default for the category of contact information for a second user of the social-networking system.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device, an image and location data. The image includes an object associated with a physical location. The method also includes comparing the received image with a subset of images in a stored database. The subset of images are identified based at least in part on the received location data. The method also includes determining one or more candidate physical location associated with the object based at least in part on the comparison; ranking one or more of the candidate physical locations; and automatically and without user input, providing for display the ranked candidate physical locations on the client device.
