    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for determining social networking or messaging user affinity and engagement coefficients (e.g., a measure of the connectedness between two people in a network). The described techniques are particularly well-suited to cases in which only limited information is available, such as when a new user joins a network and only the user's contacts list is available. The available information may be used to determine a group of existing users to which the new user is connected. Some embodiments relate to calculating scores among these existing users in order to infer an affinity for the new user to the existing users. Other embodiments involve calculating bilateral scores that reflect a degree of mutual affinity between two users.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, an input from a client device corresponding to n-grams; accessing a media-item index that indexes a plurality of media items with their respective keywords, each keyword being extracted from communications made by users of an online social network; identifying media items from the media-item index, each media item being identified based on its associated keywords matching the n-grams corresponding to the input; calculating a media-item score for each of the identified media items based on a number of occurrences in which the media item has been used in communications on the online social network in connection with its matched keywords; and sending, to the client device, data corresponding to the identified media items having a media-item score greater than a threshold media-item score.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method performed by a client device includes receiving, at the client device, an input of n-grams, and identifying media items from a media-item index. This media-item index may index media items stored by the client device and respective keywords associated with each media item, and each media item may be identified based on one or more of its associated keywords matching at least one of the n-grams of the input. An auto-suggestion with the identified media items may then be presented responsive to the input.
