Abstract:
The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline or map view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline or map view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method comprises accessing a plurality of images stored in a data store, and for a first image of the plurality of images, determining a color distribution of the first image, wherein the color distribution of the first image is based on a frequency of one or more colors depicted in the first image. The method further comprises, based on the color distribution of the first image, assigning the first image to a particular image class, wherein the particular image class further comprises a second image, wherein the assigning of the second image to the particular image class is further based on a color distribution of the second image. The method further comprises based on at least the first image and the particular image class, determining a particular color profile, assigning the particular color profile to the first image and the second image.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, an image containing a number of colors is received. The image is divided into a number of sections, and an importance value is determined for each section. For each section of the image, a frequency of each color is determined. For each color in the image, a weighted score is calculated based on the frequency of that color in a particular section, and the importance value in the particular section. The weighted scores are used to adjust an error metric used to determine an approximation function for a color profile to transform the image from a first color space to a second color space, where the error metric measures the difference between the approximation function and an ideal function curve for the transformation.
