Statistical Filtering of Search Results on Online Social Networks

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query from a first user of an online social network and identifying a set of objects associated with the online social network that substantially match the query. The method also includes calculating, for each identified object, multiple scores corresponding to multiple scoring axes, respectively, each scoring axis having a threshold score that is statistically determined for the scoring axis. The method further includes filtering one or more of the identified objects from the set of objects based on the calculated scores, where each filtered object is associated with one or more scores for one or more scoring axes, respectively, below the threshold score of the respective scoring axis. The method also includes generating one or more search results corresponding to one or more of the identified objects remaining in the set of objects, respectively.

1. A method comprising, by one or more computing devices:
receiving a query from a first user of an online social network; identifying a set of objects associated with the online social network that substantially match the query; calculating, for each identified object, a plurality of scores corresponding to a plurality of scoring axes, respectively, each scoring axis having a threshold score that is statistically determined for the scoring axis; filtering one or more of the identified objects from the set of objects based on the calculated scores, wherein each filtered object is associated with one or more scores for one or more scoring axes, respectively, below the threshold score of the respective scoring axis; generating one or more search results corresponding to one or more of the identified objects remaining in the set of objects, respectively, each search result comprising a reference to a corresponding identified object; and sending, responsive to the query, one or more search results for display to the first user.
