Techniques for improving a search user interface by demoting a set of spam user profiles included in a listing of candidate user profiles that are to be presented in response to a search request are disclosed herein. The search request is received from a client device. The search request requests the listing of candidate user profiles corresponding to a search query. The listing of candidate user profiles corresponding to the search query is determined. A trained spam detection model is applied to each of the candidate user profiles to identify the set of spam user profiles. The demoting of the spam user profiles is performed. The listing of candidate user profiles is communicated for presentation in the search user interface, the presentation reflecting the demoting of the spam user profiles.

Profile spam removal in search results from social network

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for improving use of a social network. During operation, the system obtains a set of member features associated with a member of a social network and a set of attribute features associated with a set of member attributes. Next, the system analyzes the member features and the attribute features to predict a propensity of the member to accept recommendations of the member attributes as profile edits to a member profile of the member. The system then uses the predicted propensity to output a subset of the member attributes as recommended profile edits to the member.

Feedback-based recommendation of member attributes in social networks

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure discussed herein may be used to analyze the online social network profiles of users of the social network and generate customized summaries of the profiles. Among other things, the embodiments of the present disclosure help quickly and efficiently generate an intuitive and personalized summary of a user's profile, even where a user's profile contains a relatively lengthy amount of content.
