A social networking system provides a user with a feed of content items associated with other users connected to the user via the social networking system. Additionally, the social networking system identifies additional content items for presentation to the user and generates an additional feed including the additional content items. The additional content items may be determined by identifying content items having various characteristics and scoring the content items based on the characteristics. Content items having at least a threshold score are identified as additional content items. Examples of characteristics of content items include users providing content items to the social networking system, locations associated with social networking system users, and interaction with content items by social networking system users. In some embodiments, the additional feed modifies presentation of the additional content items based on their associated scores.

Selecting content and identifying users for identification to additional users of social networking system based on user attributes or content item characteristics

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a landscape video to be presented in a vertical orientation through a display screen of a computing device. Frames of the landscape video can be cropped to allow for full screen presentation of the landscape video in the vertical orientation. The cropped frames of the landscape video can be provided for presentation through the display screen of the computing device in the vertical orientation.

Systems and methods for processing content

One or more embodiments of the disclosure include a character management system that determines and utilizes contextual meaning with regard to standardized image characters. In particular, the character management system determines contextual meaning with regard to standardized characters based on the manner in which the standardized characters are utilized in a repository of electronic documents. Moreover, the character management system can utilize the contextual meaning to search, recommend, analyze, and translate with regard to the use of standardized image characters.

Determining and utilizing contextual meaning of digital standardized image characters

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a set of labels associated with a set of content items. Each label in the set of labels can be associated with at least one content item in the set of content items. It can be determined that at least two labels, out of the set of labels, are related. The at least two labels can be determined to be related based on at least one of a co-occurrence metric associated with the at least two labels or a topic similarity metric associated with the at least two labels. One label can be selected, out of the at least two labels, as being representative of the at least two labels.

Systems and methods for identifying and grouping related content labels

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can present landscape content through a display screen of the computing device, the landscape content being presented in a landscape viewing mode. A rotation of the display screen to transition to a portrait viewing mode can be determined. The landscape content can be scaled based on the rotation of the display screen, wherein the scaled landscape content is presented through the display screen.

Systems and methods for providing content

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain a plurality of ephemeral content collections that are candidates for an ephemeral content feed of a user, wherein each of the plurality of ephemeral content collections includes one or more ephemeral content items. A score for each of the plurality of ephemeral content collections can be determined based at least in part on a probability of the user selecting the ephemeral content collection. The plurality of ephemeral content collections can be ranked based on the respective scores of the plurality of ephemeral content collections.

Systems and methods for ranking ephemeral content associated with a social networking system

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate a set of candidate content items from a plurality of content items that are available in the social networking system, wherein one or more of the candidate content items are to be included in a personalized content stream for a first user. A corresponding score for each of the candidate content items can be generated with respect to the first user. A first set of content items can be determined from the set of candidate content items based at least in part on the respective scores, wherein content items in the first set are included in the personalized content stream.

Clustering content items based on a social affinity between users associated with the content items

A social networking system provides a user with a feed of content items associated with other users connected to the user via the social networking system. Additionally, the social networking system identifies additional content items for presentation to the user and generates groups of additional content items so each group includes content items having a characteristic associated with the group. A scoring function is applied to each group to determine an expected amount of user interaction with content items in the group. Based on the expected amounts of user interaction, a featured content item is selected from each group. When a group of the additional content items is presented, the featured content item is visually distinguished from other content items in the group.

Selecting content and identifying users for identification to additional users of a social networking system based on user attributes or content item characteristics

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate a set of candidate content items from a plurality of content items that are available in the social networking system for a first user. A corresponding score for each of the candidate content items can be generated based at least in part on one or more social affinity coefficients corresponding to the first user and a respective second user associated with a candidate content item, wherein a social affinity coefficient provides a quantitative measurement of the strength of a relationship between two users. A first set of content items from the set of candidate content items can be determined based at least in part on the respective scores, wherein content items in the first set are included in a content feed provided to the first user.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can capture media content including an original set of frames. A selection of a time-lapse amount can be received. A subset of frames from the original set of frames can be identified based on the time-lapse amount. An orientation-based image stabilization process can be applied to the subset of frames to produce a stabilized subset of frames. A stabilized time-lapse media content item can be provided based on the stabilized subset of frames.

Systems and methods for time-lapse selection subsequent to capturing media content

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can capture media content including an original set of frames. A plurality of subsets of frames can be identified, based on a subset selection input, out of the original set of frames. An orientation-based image stabilization process can be applied to each subset in the plurality of subsets of frames to produce a plurality of stabilized subsets of frames. Multiple frames within each stabilized subset in the plurality of stabilized subsets of frames can be combined to produce a plurality of combined frames. Each stabilized subset of frames can be utilized to produce a respective combined frame in the plurality of combined frames. A time-lapse media content item can be provided based on the plurality of combined frames.
