Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive an indication that a user of a social networking system has interacted with a first account of the social networking system. A set of potential accounts is compiled based on account similarity criteria indicative of a similarity of each potential account to the first account. The set of potential accounts is ranked based on a machine learning model, and filtered based on filtering criteria. One or more similar account recommendations are presented to the user via a graphical user interface, the one or more similar account recommendations based on the ranking and the filtering.

Claims (37)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, an indication that a user of a social networking system has interacted with a first account of the social networking system;

compiling, by the computing system, a set of potential accounts based on account similarity criteria indicative of a similarity of each potential account to the first account;

ranking, by the computing system, the set of potential accounts based on a machine learning model;

filtering, by the computing system, the set of potential accounts based on filtering criteria; and

presenting, by the computing system, one or more similar account recommendations to the user via a graphical user interface, the one or more similar account recommendations based on the ranking and the filtering.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a co-follower score.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical follow-through rate.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical search co-visitation rate.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein each account similarity criterion of the account similarity criteria is associated with a subset of the set of potential accounts.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the machine learning model produces a likelihood that the user will interact with a potential account based on user characteristics of the user.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the filtering criteria comprise a criterion relating to a celebrity account designation.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the filtering criteria comprise a criterion relating to filtering out accounts that the user has already interacted with.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the filtering criteria comprise a criterion relating to filtering out accounts previously recommended to the user as a similar account.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising training the machine learning model based on historical social networking interaction information.

11 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:

receiving an indication that a user of a social networking system has interacted with a first account of the social networking system;

compiling a set of potential accounts based on account similarity criteria indicative of a similarity of each potential account to the first account;

ranking the set of potential accounts based on a machine learning model;

filtering the set of potential accounts based on filtering criteria; and

presenting one or more similar account recommendations to the user via a graphical user interface, the one or more similar account recommendations based on the ranking and the filtering.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a co-follower score.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical follow-through rate.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical search co-visitation rate.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each account similarity criterion of the account similarity criteria is associated with a subset of the set of potential accounts.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

receiving an indication that a user of a social networking system has interacted with a first account of the social networking system;

compiling a set of potential accounts based on account similarity criteria indicative of a similarity of each potential account to the first account;

ranking the set of potential accounts based on a machine learning model;

filtering the set of potential accounts based on filtering criteria; and

presenting one or more similar account recommendations to the user via a graphical user interface, the one or more similar account recommendations based on the ranking and the filtering.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a co-follower score.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical follow-through rate.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the compiling a set of potential accounts comprises applying an account similarity criteria relating to determination of a historical search co-visitation rate.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein each account similarity criterion of the account similarity criteria is associated with a subset of the set of potential accounts.
