Abstract: A method for filtering a notification being provided from an application to a user of a social networking system based on an action of the user is described. The method starts by receiving the notification from the application to the user. If the notification is a first notification sent from the application to the user, the notification is displayed to the user with (i) a prompting message that includes a selectable opt in image, and (ii) a selectable opt out image. The prompting message includes a request to opt in to receiving notifications from the application. If the notification is not the first notification sent from the application to the user, the method determines whether to display the notification to the user by determining whether the user previously opted in to notifications from the application and whether click-through rate (CTR) of notifications from the application is greater than CTR threshold.

Abstract: A notification system provides notifications to a user associated with multiple user devices. The notification system selects a user device to receive a notification based on user behavior, such as user interactions with the notification system via the user device or acknowledgments of notifications received from user devices. The notification is sent to the selected user device, and the notification system waits for an acknowledgment from the selected notification system for an acknowledgement delay period. If no acknowledgment is received within the acknowledgment delay period, an additional user device is selected and the notification is sent to the additional user device.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive input associated with a social networking system user account. The input includes content to be published to the social networking system. In response to the received input, one or more location suggestions are identified based upon the content. The one or more identified location suggestions are transmitted to a user device associated with the user account. Selection of a location suggestion is received. The content and selected location is published as a post within the social networking system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes automatically determining, in response to user input that includes an indication that the user is generating social-network content, a location of the user. The social network has a number of nodes and a number of edges connecting the nodes, and at least one node corresponds to the user. The method includes sending, automatically and without requiring further user input, the location from a client computing device of the user to an external server computing device and receiving from the server an identification of one or more places corresponding to the location.

Abstract: A social networking system (SNS) may determine the integrity of a social application. In particular, the SNS can receive communications and tags associated with different subsets of the communications from the social application. Thereafter, the SNS can distribute the communications, and monitor for user interactions performed on the communications. Subsequently, feedback indicating the integrity of the social application can be provided. The feedback can be based on the user interactions performed on the communications. The feedback can also be provided according to the tags. In particular, a set of feedback information can be provided for each tag, where the set is based on the user interactions performed on the subset of communications associated with the tag. By providing feedback in this manner, A-B testing can be performed. In one embodiment, the operating state for the social application can be determined based on the integrity of the SNS.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving user input that includes an indication that the user is generating social-network content. The social network includes a number of nodes and a number of edges connecting the nodes, with at least one node corresponding to the user. The method includes accessing information about one or more places corresponding to a location of the user and automatically generating a check-in to one of the one or more places for the user. The method includes automatically associating the check-in with the content.

Abstract: Machine learning models are used for ranking news feed stories presented to users of a social networking system. The social networking system divides its users into different sets, for example, based on demographic characteristics of the users and generates one model for each set of users. The models are periodically retrained. The news feed ranking model may rank news feeds for a user based on information describing other users connected to the user in the social networking system. Information describing other users connected to the user includes interactions of the other users with objects associated with news feed stories. These interactions include commenting on a news feed story, liking a news feed story, or retrieving information, for example, images, videos associated with a news feed story.

Abstract: A social networking system notifies its users of different events and actions taking place inside the social networking system. To present notifications that are most likely to be of interest to the user, the social networking system observes the interactions of the user with notifications presented to the user and suggests an option to opt-out of notifications associated with a source based on the observed interactions. The option to opt-out of notifications associated with the source may be presented if the users interactions with the notifications presented are below a threshold. Notifications associated with a social group are presented to the user based on factors describing the group and the relation between the user and other users of the social group, for example, seniority of the user, size of the group, and the rate at which user actions associated with the group are received.
