A method for controlling a playback tempo of an audio track to be presented at an audio output, the audio track comprising a plurality of audio components, a first audio component of the plurality of audio components being associated with a plurality of sets of audio data, wherein each set of audio data in the plurality of sets of audio data is associated with a respective playback tempo range, the method comprising receiving a playback tempo for presenting the audio track at the audio output, selecting, from the plurality of sets of audio data, a set of audio data that has an associated playback tempo range comprising the received playback tempo, and allocating the selected set of audio data to the first audio component for presenting the audio track at the audio output.

Variations audio playback

In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a structured query comprising references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, identifying a set of target objects corresponding to the structured query, wherein each target object in the set is an object that is connected within the online social network to at least one of the objects referenced in the structured query, filtering the set of target objects based on a privacy setting of each of the connections to the target object, and generating search results comprising references to each target object from the post-filtered set that is connected to the first user within the online social network by a series of connections that have a visibility that is visible to the first user.

Filtering search results for structured search queries

A method for constructing an adaptive media file comprising a plurality of audio components configured to be used to form an audio output arranged to have a controllable tempo, the method comprising providing first audio data associated with a first audio component of the plurality of audio components, setting a playback tempo range of the first audio data, providing second audio data associated with the first audio component, setting a playback tempo range of the second audio data, wherein the tempo range of the second audio data is different to the tempo range of the first audio data, and associating the first audio data, the second audio data and the respective playback tempo ranges.

Data format

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a user, an indication of the user accessing a query field associated with a profile interface of a first entity, accessing a relational database to identify one or more second entities related to the first entity, generating one or more suggested queries based on the first entity, each suggested query comprising a name string of the first entity and one or more second name strings of one or more of the identified second entities, respectively, and sending, to the client system, responsive to the user accessing the query field, instructions for displaying one or more of the suggested queries.

Default suggested queries on online social networks

In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a client device associated with a first user of an online social network, a text query comprising one or more character strings, identifying one or more data objects that match at least a portion of one or more of the character strings, wherein each of the identified data objects is connected to the first user within the online social network, generating one or more recommended queries that each comprise the character strings of the text query and references to one or more of the identified data objects, and sending, to the client device associated with the first user in response to receiving the text query, one or more of the recommended queries for display to the first user.

Personalized structured search queries for online social networks

In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a client device associated with a first user of an online social network, an unstructured text query, parsing the text query to identify one or more n-grams, determining a score for each n-gram, wherein the score for each n-gram is a probability that the n-gram corresponds to a particular data object of a plurality of data objects associated with the online social network, identifying one or more data objects based on the scores of their corresponding n-grams, each identified data object corresponding to at least one of the n-grams, and generating one or more structured queries that each comprise references to one or more of the identified data objects.

Detecting social graph elements for structured search queries

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system, a character string having n characters entered by the first user into a query field, wherein a term comprising the ncharacter of the character string is an ambiguous term, identifying one or more objects corresponding to the ambiguous term based on a calculated probability that the ambiguous term corresponds to the identified objects, sending instructions for presenting a set of suggested queries to the first user, each suggested query from the set of suggested queries corresponding to one of the identified objects and comprising a reference to the corresponding identified object, receiving a selection of a suggested query corresponding to a first object of the identified objects, and sending, responsive to receiving the selection of the suggested query, instructions for modifying the ambiguous term in the query field to include a reference to the first object.

Suggested terms for ambiguous search queries

In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving an unstructured text query, parsing the text query to identify n-grams; determining a score that the n-grams correspond to particular nodes and edges from a social graph, identifying those nodes and edges with a score greater than a threshold score, and then generating structured queries that include references to the identified nodes and edges.
