Identifying User Biases for Search Results on Online Social Networks

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query, determining a user bias of a first user of an online social network from a first node corresponding to the first user and a plurality of user nodes corresponding to a plurality of second users sharing one or more user attributes with the first user, identifying nodes of a plurality of second nodes based at least in part on the user bias of the first user, where the identified nodes correspond to the structured query, and generating search results corresponding to the identified nodes. The bias may be determined by identifying a candidate user node of the second nodes, comparing a first user attribute of the first node to a second user attribute of the candidate user node, and including the candidate user node in the user nodes when the first user attribute matches the second user attribute.

1. A method comprising, by a computing device:
accessing a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them; receiving from a first user a first structured query comprising references to one or more selected nodes from the plurality of nodes and one or more selected edges from the plurality of edges; determining a user bias of the first user with respect to the first structured query, the user bias being determined from a first node corresponding to the first user and a plurality of user nodes corresponding to a plurality of second users, respectively, sharing one or more user attributes with the first user; identifying one or more nodes of a plurality of second nodes, wherein the identified nodes correspond to the structured query, and identifying the one or more nodes is based at least in part on the user bias of the first user; and generating one or more search results corresponding to one or more of the identified one or more nodes, respectively, each search result comprising a reference to the corresponding identified node.
