There are provided means for implementing an interface to populate and update an entity graph through socially relevant user challenges including, for example, means of a social network system to perform operations including monitoring a user's interactions with the social network system; initiating a contextually relevant challenge for the user of the social network system based on the user's interactions monitored; identifying a plurality of concepts within an entity graph of the social network system contextually relevant to the user of the social network system; selecting one of the plurality of concepts within the entity graph upon which to base the contextually relevant challenge for the user; constructing an inquiry for the contextually relevant challenge based on missing data of the concept selected or based on data to be updated within the concept selected; presenting the contextually relevant challenge having the inquiry therein to the user; and receiving a challenge response from the user responsive to the contextually relevant challenge.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing an interface to populate and update an entity graph through socially relevant user challenges

A social networking system allows its users to provide metadata for association with objects maintained by the social networking system. Some of the metadata may be presented to other users along with the object. To prevent association of inaccurate metadata with an object, the social networking system determines a confidence value associated with a user who provided metadata for association with an object. The confidence value indicates of the accuracy of metadata provided by the user relative to information associated with the object. If the user has previously provided less than a threshold amount of metadata to associate with objects, the confidence score is determined using characteristics associated with the user by the social networking system. The metadata provided by the user is stored but not associated with the object if the user's confidence value is less than a threshold value.
