Technologies for secure multi-party computation include computing first double-encrypted data, computing second double-encrypted data, and, in a trusted execution environment, executing a query on the first double-encrypted data and the second double encrypted data to create a query-processed double-encrypted data set. The trusted execution environment can provide the query-processed double-encrypted data set to a requester such as another computer, system, or process.

Secure multi-party computation

A system and method for inferring service opportunities are provided. In example embodiments, a member event associated with a particular member of a social networking service is detected. In response to detecting the member event, a service request for a particular service is inferred based on the member event. A provider member capable of fulfilling the inferred service request is identified among members of the social networking service. A match score for each of the identified provider members is calculated. The identified provider members are ranked according to the calculated match score. At least a portion of the ranked identified provider members are presented on a user interface.

Inferring service opportunities

The present disclosure describes various embodiments of methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which may be used in conjunction with a campaign for distributing content to users of the social network. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a number of advantages over conventional systems for content distribution, including a simplified targeting process and increased reach (i.e. distribution) for content providers among users of a social network, as well as improving the utilization of an inventory of content and higher and more efficient engagement with such content by users of the social network.

Audience expansion for online social network content

A system and method for inferring service providers are provided. In example embodiments, member data of members of a social networking service is accessed. From the member data, it is inferred that a particular member among the members of the social networking service is a freelancer member. A service request that the freelancer member is capable of fulfilling is identified based on a service request skill associated with the service request and a freelancer skill of the freelancer member. An option for the freelancer member to fulfill the service request is presented on a user interface of a user device of the freelancer member.

Inferring service providers

A system, method, and apparatus are provided for migrating contacts (e.g., records identifying contacts) from one domain to another. Each record includes various fields corresponding to a single contact or other entity known within the first domain. The migration process may involve configuring multiple queries from the field data, for querying the second domain or system to identify (or to attempt to identify) matching entities known within the second domain. One or more exact queries may be configured to identify specific entities within the second domain, based on entity-specific data, for example. Other queries may be more general and may match multiple entities known within the second domain. For records for which no exact query identifies an entity, one or more general queries may be executed to identify multiple entities, which may be subsequently ranked based on the likelihood that they are the entity that corresponds to the record.
