Abstract:
In one embodiment, a social graph associated with a social networking system may comprise user nodes, concept nodes, meta nodes, and edges between the nodes. A meta node may be connected by an edge to each of a set of concept nodes sharing attributes. A request associated with a first user may be received, wherein a user node for the first user is associated with a first one of the concept nodes. A meta node connected to the first concept node may be identified. Second concept nodes may be identified, wherein each of the second concept nodes is connected to the identified meta node. A value may be determined for each of the second concept nodes. Finally, information may be presented to the first user, wherein the information is related to at least one of the second concept nodes based on respective values for the second concept nodes.
Abstract:
Equivalent concepts expressed across multiple domains are matched and associated with a metapage generated by a social networking system. User preferences expressed on multiple domains, represented as pages in a social networking system, may be organized by concept and shared with advertisers, third-party developers, and other users of the social networking system using the metapages generated for the concepts. Aggregated social information may be presented to users of the social networking system viewing a page associated with a metapage. Information presented on external websites may be used to link pages across multiple domains with a metapage generated on the social networking system, presenting the information on other external websites associated with the metapage as links on the pages associated with the metapage. Feedback from users may be used to include or exclude pages from being associated with a generated metapage.
Abstract:
Embodiments improve the ability of users of a social networking system to search for information that is likely to be relevant to them by learning and/or applying a search context associated with selector components used to search for objects of the social networking system. The search context is specific to the use of an individual selector and thus need not be as general as the context of an entire page or set of pages in which selectors can be embedded. The social networking system may learn the context of a selector by monitoring user selections from prior search results performed using the selector.
Abstract:
An online services system includes a mechanism for providing user confidence information to an external data consumer, and for determining user contribution quality. Using stored information about user actions and interactions, user confidence is evaluated for one or more parameters associated with the validity of the user's account and/or quality of the user's contributions to the online services system. Confidence values are assigned to each parameter, and the values are exposed to external data consumers. Using stored information, user actions and interactions are correlated with contribution quality to produce a metric indicative of user contribution quality. Users with low quality parameter metrics may have their contributions shown to a smaller audience or have a lower prominence in a news feed.

Abstract:
In particular embodiments, a method comprises accessing, by one or more computing systems associated with a social-networking system, a structured document of a network application, the structured document comprising structural information and content comprising one or more embedded scripts, resources, or identifiers for the resources. The method further comprises processing the structured document to generate a model representation of the structured document, executing at least some of the content of the structured document and logging multiple snapshots of the model representation of the structured document as the model representation is generated in response to one or more interactions initiated by execution of the content. The method further comprises creating a behavior model of the network application based on the multiple snapshots of the model representation of the structured document and determining, based on the behavior model, compliance by the network application with one or more requirements of the social-networking system.
