Abstract:
A computer system collects user activity data for an online media item. The user activity data includes data for users that are consuming the online media item. The computer system identifies one or more criteria that are associated with the user activity data to use to identify one or more images in the online media item for a thumbnail for the online media item and selects one or more images in the online media item, based on the user activity data, that satisfy the one or more criteria. The computer system recommends the one or more images as the thumbnail for the online media item.
Abstract:
A system obtains a document that is responsive to a user query. The system determines an interest of the user based on stored data associated with the user, and determines that a portion of the document relates to the interest of the user. The system generates a first snippet for the document based on the portion of the document that relates to the interest of the user, and provides the first snippet for the document as part of a result list.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium include actions of receiving a search query, the search query being received from a first user of a computer-implemented search service, receiving a search result that is responsive to the search query, the search result being representative of one or more resources, receiving a set of entities associated with the one or more resources, receiving a first set of entities associated with the first user, each entity in the first set of entities having been determined to be of interest to the first user, determining that one or more entities of the set of entities corresponds to one or more entities of the first set of entities and, in response, providing a first set of recommended content, the first set of recommended content comprising the one or more entities of the set of entities, providing a first search results page, the first search results page comprising the search result and digital content representative of recommended content provided in the first set of recommended content, the digital content providing a link to a resource of the one or more resources, and transmitting the first search results page for display to the first user.
Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to promoting sharing in a social network system. In some implementations, a method includes receiving one or more media items in a social network, where the one or more media items are associated with a location. The method also includes detecting a post, where content in the post references the location. The method also includes providing a suggestion to a user to share the one or more media items in the post.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for enabling user privacy for content on a network includes receiving input from a first user instructing at least one change in user access to shared content provided by a network system. The change modifies the user access from an existing set of one or more users of the network system to a different set of one or more users of the network system. The method checks a privacy setting associated with each of one or more referred users of the network system who are referred to by the shared content. The privacy setting indicates whether the associated referred user is to be sent a notification indicating that the at least one change in user access has been instructed.
Abstract:
A method for determining user behavior related to media includes receiving a media file containing media, partitioning the media into segments, monitoring user behavior with respect to the media and the segments, logging user behavior with respect to the segments, and identifying a baseline level of user interest with respect to the media. The method may further include comparing logged user behavior with respect to a segment of the media with the baseline level of user interest with respect to the media, responsive to determining that the deviation exceeds a threshold, tagging the media segment to indicate that deviation of the logged user behavior with respect to the segment of the media from the baseline level of user interest with respect to the media, and communicating with a user device regarding tagged segments.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for expanding the functionality of a browser URL input box are provided. A first input is received from a navigation field at a browser. An input type of the first input is determined. A plurality of repositories are searched for one or more browser extensions based on the input type. A set of browser extension results are displayed within the navigation field based on a confidence score associated with each repository of the plurality of repositories. The confidence score indicates a probability of a user's intent to use a browser extension included in the browser extension results.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and computing system for receiving, on a computing device, a tag associated with a first user concerning a first image within a social network. The method may be further configured to scan the first image to identify whether a human face is present in the first image. If the human face is identified, the method may be configured to compare the human face to that of the first user. If the human face is determined to be that of the first user, the method may be configured to allow the first image to be displayed in a social networking application associated with a second user, wherein the first user and second user are connected within the social network.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and computing system for comparing, on a computing device, data concerning a first image within a social network to data concerning a plurality of images within the social network. A subset of similar images is identified, chosen from the plurality of images, based, at least in part, upon the comparison. At least a portion of the subset is presented to a computing device associated with a user.
Abstract:
A method includes identifying user activity data of a plurality of users for a first online media item. The user activity data includes a drop-off rate and a consumption rate for the first online media item. The first online media item has a first thumbnail representing the first online media item. The method further includes determining, based on at least one of the drop-off rate or the consumption rate of the first online media item, that a new thumbnail is to be recommended to replace the first thumbnail for the first online media item, selecting the new thumbnail from a plurality of candidate thumbnails, and sending a recommendation of the new thumbnail for the first online media item to a client device of a user associated with the first online media item.
