Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes one or more computing systems that implement a social networking environment and are operable to access stored information including a plurality of nodes including a first set of user nodes that each correspond to a respective user and a second set of concept nodes that each correspond to a respective concept. The system may generate a match coefficient for the user and concept, representing the degree of relevance of a particular concept node to a particular user node.
Claims20
A method comprising, by one or more computing systems:
- accessing, in a social graph, a user node representing a particular user, the user node connected to a plurality of attribute nodes;
- and
- for each of a plurality of object nodes in the social graph, each object node connected to a plurality of attribute nodes, calculating a match coefficient between the user node and an individual object node by accessing a set of all attribute nodes connected to both the user node and the object node.
