The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for ranking media effects. For example, systems and methods described herein enable a user to select and apply one or more media effects to a media communication such as a digital photograph or video. Systems and methods described herein identify and rank media effects based on characteristics associated with the user and the user's client-computing device. Furthermore, systems and methods described herein automatically present the top-ranked media effects to the user such that the user can easily select and apply one or more media effects that are tailored specifically to the user.

Dynamically ranking media effects based on user and device characteristics

An exemplary method of generating content for a user of a social networking service includes, in an application of a social networking service, receiving a classification model from a server system associated with the social networking service. The method further includes generating a collage for a user. The collage includes a set of content items stored on the client device. The method also includes, presenting the collage to the user if the collage satisfies a criterion included in the classification model. The method also includes tracking and providing user-interaction data for the collage to the server system, and receiving an updated classification model from the server system in accordance with the user-interaction data. The method also includes generating and presenting a new collage that includes a new set of content items stored on the client device, if the new collage satisfies the criterion included in the updated classification model.

Methods and systems for generating content for users of a social networking service

In one embodiment, a method for designing an augmented-reality effect may include displaying a virtual object in a 3D space of a user interface comprising a first and second display areas, wherein the virtual object is displayed from a first perspective in the first display area and displayed from a second perspective in the second display area, the second perspective being different from the first perspective, receiving, via the user interface, instructions to adjust the virtual object, adjusting the virtual object according to the instructions, and displaying the adjusted virtual object in the 3D space of the user interface, wherein the adjusted virtual object is displayed from the first perspective in the first display area and displayed from the second perspective in the second display area.

An exemplary method of generating content for a user of a social networking service includes, in an application of a social networking service, receiving a classification model from a server system associated with the social networking service. The method further includes detecting content items stored on the client device independently of the application. The method further includes generating content for a user of the social networking service that includes a set of content items from the detected content items, based at least in part on metadata for the set of content items. The metadata is stored at the client device. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the generated content for the user satisfies a criterion included in the classification model, presenting the content to the user in the application.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a number of candidate notifications stored on the social-networking system. Each of the candidate notifications includes a prompt to perform an action on the social-networking system. The method also includes generating a user feature vector quantifying features of the user; and assessing, using a machine-learning model, one or more feature vectors in order to calculate an interaction score for each of the candidate notifications. The one or more feature vectors includes the user feature vector. The method also includes ranking each of the candidate notifications based at least in part on the respective calculated interaction score; and providing, based at least in part on the ranking, one or more of the candidate notifications to a client device of the user. Each of the provided candidate notifications satisfies a pre-determined threshold value.

Prompt ranking

A client device receives from a user, in an application associated with a social networking service provided by a server system, a first user input for creating a first post on a social networking system. In response to the first user input, a plurality of icons for selection by the user are displayed. A selection of a first icon from the plurality of icons is received from the user. The first post including a first image associated with the user is posted to the social networking system. The first image includes the first icon overlaying at least a portion of a profile picture of the user.

Methods and systems for managing a user profile picture associated with an indication of user status on a social networking system

In one embodiment, a computing device receives text input from a user. The computing device determines an action by the user indicated in the text, and at least a part of a phrase in the text that indicates one or more topics associated with the action. The computing device determines whether the at least part of a phrase matches one or more phrases stored in an indexed database. When the at least part of a phrase does not match one or more phrases of the indexed database, then the computing device determines a complete phrase input by the user, and determines one or more topics to be associated with the complete phrase. The computing device stores the complete phrase as an instance of the complete phrase. The computing device determines whether at least a threshold number of instances of the complete phrase has been stored.

Indexing user-defined minutiae

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive shared content information associated with a content item selected by a user for sharing on a social networking system. A minutiae post recommendation is determined based on the shared content information. The minutiae post recommendation is presented on a user device.
