In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query, identifying search results in response to the query, grouping the search results into one or more clusters, identifying similarities across the one or more clusters, determining a related topic associated with the query based on the similarities of the one or more clusters, determining a categories associated with the query, identifying supplemental information based on the related topic and the category, and providing the search results and the supplemental information for display in response to the query.

Providing supplemental information in news search

In one aspect, a method includes identifying a first user viewing a first set of posts at a social networking service, the first set of posts including one or more posts, determining that the level of engagement of the first user at the social networking service is below a predetermined level, generating a second set of posts in response to determining that the level of engagement of the first user at the social networking service is below a predetermined level, the second set of posts including one or more posts not previously seen by the user and providing the second set of posts for display to the user. Other aspects can be embodied in corresponding systems and apparatus, including computer program products.

Multiple social streams

A system and method for generating a stream of content includes a content stream module that generates a model based on user input and/or prior activities using heterogeneous data sources. The heterogeneous data sources include search, entertainment, social activity and activity on third-party sites. The content stream module retrieves candidate content items that have interests that are similar to the user. The candidate content items are compared to the model and scored based upon interestingness of the content item to the user. The content stream module generates the stream of content from the candidate content items.

Scoring stream items with models based on user interests

A system and method for generating a real-time stream of content from heterogeneous data sources and a real-time index. The heterogeneous data sources include search, entertainment, social activity and activity on third-party sites. A fetching unit retrieves recent content that is indexed in the real-time index according to keywords. A model generation engine generates a model based on user activities. The mixer compares candidate content items from the heterogeneous data sources and the real-time index to the model to generate scores for each item and generates a stream of content based on the scores.

Scoring stream items in real time

In one aspect, a method includes identifying a plurality of posts, each of the plurality of post being associated with a score and a time, the plurality of posts being ranked according to the score associated with each post, selecting a first post of the plurality of posts as a candidate post, determining a score threshold and time threshold associated with the candidate post, determining if one or more posts of the plurality of posts meet the score threshold and the time threshold associated with the candidate post and reordering the candidate post and the one or more posts according to the time associated with each of the candidate post and the one or more posts when it is determined that one or more posts meet the score threshold and the time threshold.

Chronological sorting of items ranked according to a score

A system and method for generating a channel includes a channel engine that retrieves candidate content items based on a topic from heterogeneous data sources. The channel engine generates a stream of content with selected content items and populates the stream of content for the channel and providing the stream of content to users associated with the channel. In response to receiving feedback, the channel engine modifies the at least one topic based at least in part on the feedback. The scoring engine generates a second stream of content from the first stream of content that is personalized for the first user based at least in part on a model. Other users can subscribe to the second stream.

Stream of content for a channel

Documents relating to a topic may be presented to users using visually expandable views. In one implementation, a web page may include a number of topics each presented in a visual area that is presented to a user as one of two views, the two views including, for each of the particular topics: a first view in which a link to a document relating to the topic is presented to a user, and a second view, expanded visually relative to the first view, in which links, to a number of different types of documents and associated with a number of different domains, relating to the particular topic, are presented to the user.

Using an expanded view to display links related to a topic

In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication of a request from a user to view a stream associated with the user, generating a request for one or more items visible to the user for display within the stream, the request including a search query identifying search criteria including one or more tokens, the one or more tokens including at least a user token identifying the user, receiving one or more items in response to the request, the one or more items including at least one of the one or more tokens and further being visible to the user and providing the one or more items for display to the user within the stream in response to the request. Other aspects can be embodied in corresponding systems and apparatus, including computer program products.

Query-based stream

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for augmenting clusters of news articles with translated news articles. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining data characterizing a first cluster of electronically published news articles in a presentation language, wherein the data characterizing the first cluster of news articles comprises one or more terms in the presentation language and region data identifying a first geographical region associated with the first cluster; generating translated terms by translating one or more of the terms from the presentation language to a first language, wherein the first language corresponds to the first geographical region; and obtaining one or more news articles in the first language in response to a search query derived from the one or more translated terms.

Translated news

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for presenting search results. One of the methods includes obtaining, based on a search request, search results that comprise a first user profile and a second user profile. The method includes determining a popularity difference between a first popularity associated with the first user profile and a second popularity associated with the second user profile. The method includes determining that the popularity difference exceeds a threshold. The method includes based on determining that the popularity difference exceeds the threshold, causing the search results to be presented in a display area such that the first user profile is emphasized relative to the second user profile within the display area.

Presenting search results

Techniques for suggesting a tag for content may include the following: receiving, from a member of a social network, an entry in a display field along with an indication that the entry is for a post; after receiving the entry and the indication, identifying content by performing a search using at least some of the entry and information about the member of the social network; obtaining tags corresponding to the identified content; ranking the tags; outputting the ranked tags as suggestions to include with the display field; and augmenting the entry by adding a selected tag to the display field.

Suggesting a tag for content

Techniques include obtaining ranges of content relevance scores for different collections of content; generating a normalized range based on the ranges of content relevance scores; and normalizing a particular range of a particular collection of content including: generating a distribution of content relevance scores for the collection of content; identifying portions in the distribution; and generating a mapping of portions from the distribution to portions in the normalized range.

Blending content in an output

An integrated circuit (IC) with a novel configurable routing fabric is provided. The configurable routing fabric has signal paths that propagate signals between user registers on user clock cycles. Each signal path includes a set of configurable storage elements and a set of configurable logic elements. Each configurable storage element in the path is reconfigurable on every sub-cycle of the user clock cycle to either store an incoming signal or to pass the incoming signal transparently.
