    Abstract: A news feed system of an on-line social network system news utilizes a relevance model to determine which updates from an inventory of updates are to be presented to a member on their news feed page. The relevance model is trained using historical data that reflects interactions of members of the on-line social network system with items in their respective news feed pages. In order to reduce potential biases in the historical data that is used to train the relevance model, the news feed system designates a certain portion of all member sessions to be random sessions. The news feed generated for a member during a random session includes updates that are selected and/or ordered for presentation using one or more randomization techniques.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a GLMix model is utilized that models viewers and actors of feed items. This allows for random effects of individual viewers and actors to be taken into account without introducing biases. Additionally, in an example embodiment, predictions/recommendations are made more accurate by using three models, which are then combined, instead of a single GLMix model. Each of these models has different granularities and dimensions. A global model may model the similarity between user attributes (e.g., from the member profile or activity history) and item attributes. A per-viewer model may model user attributes and activity history of actors on feed items. A per-actor model may model user attributes and activity history of the viewers of feed items. The per-actor model may therefore, rely on information regarding how and what type of viewers interacted with items acted on by the particular actor.

    Abstract: A news feed system of an on-line social network system obtains and utilizes data related to events that originate with members of the on-line social network system from web pages other those members' news feed pages. The news feed system monitors signals that are not related to feed interaction and generates contextual engagement features based on those signals. The news feed system associates contextual engagement features with respective member profiles and may store the association information for a period of time. The news feed system then uses these features to train a model that ranks news feed inventory and/or as input into that model.
