    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining a first set of users associated with a first geographic area; and determining one or more second sets of users. For each second set of users the users in the second set are associated with one of a number of second geographic areas and the users in the second set interact with the first set of users. The method also includes, for each second set of users, computing a mutual-interaction metric between the first set of users and the second set of users based on an amount of interaction between the users in the first set and the users in the second set; and determining, based on the mutual-interaction metric, a geographic-area cluster that comprises the first geographic area and one or more of the second geographic areas. The geographic-area cluster represents a user community that spans the first and second geographic areas.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query inputted at a mobile device of a user of an online social network. The query may include n-grams (e.g., words, emoticons, and punctuation marks), and may be, for example, a message to another user or search terms. N-grams may be mapped to tags, which may, in turn, be mapped to ideograms (i.e., stickers). One or more ideograms may be identified based on the one or more ideogram being associated with tags matching n-grams of the query. For each of the identified ideograms, a probability quantifying how likely the user is to select the ideogram is calculated based on how frequently the ideogram has been used. A set of ideogram suggestions, including one or more of the identified ideograms, is generated based on the probabilities and sent to the user's mobile device for display to the user.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for enabling peer to business payments using an integrated payment and messaging system. In particular, the integrated payment and messaging system allows users to send electronic payments as well as exchange messages with a merchant. The integrated payment and messaging system can improve security by allowing a user to make a purchase without having to provide sensitive financial information to the merchant. In addition, the integrated payment and messaging system can allow a user to make a payment for an order seamlessly during a conversation with the merchant.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for sending and receiving payments using an integrated payment and messaging system. In particular, the integrated payment and messaging system allows users to send and receive electronic payments as well as exchange messages. For example, one or more implementations involve facilitating message exchanges and payment transactions using push notifications via separate message and payment queues. To illustrate, one or more implementations involve pushing status updates to a payment transaction using a payment queue specific to a user. Additionally, one or more implementations involve associating payment transactions with messages within a messaging thread for providing updates to each user in the messaging thread.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods providing providing improved customer service to visiting customers of a brick-and-mortar merchant location. For example, a customer recognition system intelligently detects and notifies a merchant when a customer is in need of assistance based on the customer's facial expression. The customer recognition system can also identify a product associated with the customer need. In some examples, the customer recognition system identifies a user profile associated with a customer shopping at a merchant location, determines a trust level for the customer based on user profile information, and based on the trust level, causes a secured product display to provide a customer access to a secured product.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for sending and receiving payments using an integrated payment and messaging system. In particular, the integrated payment and messaging system allows users to send and receive electronic payments as well as exchange messages. Additional implementations involve facilitating payment transaction by inferring payment events. Still further implementations involve facilitating payment transactions between groups of users. In addition to the foregoing, one or more implementations allow a user to initiate payment transactions without first providing a payment credential.
