    Abstract: In an example, a plurality of member profiles in a social networking service are obtained, each member profile identifying a member and listing one or more skills the corresponding member has explicitly added to the member profile, the one or more skills indicating a proficiency by the member in the corresponding skill. A members-skills matrix is formed, wherein each cell in the matrix is assigned a value based on whether the corresponding member has the corresponding skill. The dot product of the members matrix and the skills matrix is then computed and used to identify one or more latent skills of a first member of the social networking service. Then a first digitally stored member profile is augmented with the one or more latent skills by combining the one or more latent skills with explicit skills for purposes of one or more searches that utilize member skills as an input variable.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, usage information is used to calculate one or more individual document historical information-deficient metrics (IDHIDMs) by combining values for the one or more metrics from multiple documents within the document corpus that share an identical combination of entities of the one or more entity types. A search query is segmented into a plurality of segments, wherein at least one of the plurality of segments is tagged as a first entity type and at least one of the plurality of segments is tagged as a second entity type. At least one for a combination of entities matching the tagged segments is used to rank one or more retrieved documents responsive to the query.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a machine learned model is used to determine whether to send a notification for a feed object to a user. This machine learned model is optimized not just based on the likelihood that the notification will cause the user to interact with the feed object, but also the likely short-term and long-term impacts of the user interacting with the feed object. This machine learned model factors in not only the viewer's probability of immediate action, such as clicking on a feed object, but also the probability of long-term impact, such as the display causing the viewer to contribute content to the network or the viewer's response encouraging more people to contribute content to the network. As such, the machine learned model is optimized not just on notification interactivity but also on feed objects interactivity.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods that include a member activity database including data indicative of interactions with content items on a social network by a population of users of the social network. A processor is configured to obtain an optimization criterion based on at least two constraints related to a performance of the social network, obtain, for a subset of the population of users, at least some of the data indicative of interactions with content items from the member activity database, determine, based on the at least some of the data as obtained, an operating condition for the social network that is estimated to meet the optimization criterion, and provide, to at least some of the user devices via the network interface, the social network based, at least in part, on the operating condition.

    Abstract: Techniques for predicting a user response to content are described. According to various embodiments, a configuration file is accessed, where the configuration file includes a user-specification of raw data accessible via external data sources and raw data encoding rules. In some embodiments, the raw data includes raw member data associated with a particular member and raw content data associated with a particular content item. Thereafter, source modules encode the raw data from the external data sources into feature vectors, based on the raw data encoding rules. An assembler module assembles one or more of the feature vectors into an assembled feature vector, based on user-specified assembly rules included in the configuration file. A prediction module performs a prediction modeling process based on the assembled feature vector and a prediction model, to predict a likelihood of the particular member performing a particular user action on the particular content item.

    Abstract: A system and method may optional include or utilize a processor configured to receive a request for social network content for display in a sponsored content position in a newsfeed of a social network interface, the position having a position criterion, identify a sponsored content item of multiple sponsored content items stored on a database based, at least in part, on a characteristic of the sponsored content item meeting the position criterion, a bid associated with the sponsored content item, and a scaling factor, wherein each of the sponsored content items correspond to one of multiple item types and at least two of the sponsored content items are of a different item type. The scaling factor for each of the sponsored content items is based on the item type of the corresponding one of the sponsored content items.
