Abstract:

Improved techniques for flow analysis in messaging systems are disclosed. For example, a method for finding correlations between messages of a system based on content includes the following steps. For one or more executions of the system, obtaining the messages of the system, wherein each message has a schema associated therewith. The messages are categorized into groups, wherein each group has a common schema. Pairs of messages from disparate groups are found wherein, for the messages of a pair, there is a feature in common in their contents.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes by one or more computing machines: receiving a search query from a user, generating a normalized query based on the search query, identifying multiple objects matching the search query, and calculating an engagement score for each object. The engagement score is based on real-time counters and batch counters. Each counter includes: a key listing the object, normalized query, and one of multiple types of user interactions; and a value indicating a number of user interactions with the object performed in response to search queries normalizing to the normalized query. The value for real-time and batch counters indicates user interactions during first and second threshold windows of time, respectively. The method continues with sending, to the user, a search-results interface including results corresponding to the identified objects above a threshold engagement score, and updating the real-time counters based on user interactions with the search results.

Abstract:

Online system users interact with one or more third party systems, with the online system maintaining an account for each of its users and each third party system maintaining a third party account for each of its users. The online system compares information in a user's account to accessible information in third party accounts and establishes connections between the user's account and o third party accounts based on the comparisons. A connection between the user's account and a third party account includes a confidence level indicating a likelihood of the third party account being associated with the user of the online system corresponding to the account. A third party system may request information from the online system about a user specifying a threshold confidence level, allowing the online system to return information from third party accounts having connections to the user's account with at least the threshold confidence level.
