Abstract

A social networking system recommends pages or other objects to a user with which the user may establish a connection to receive content associated with an object. Candidate objects may be identified by the social networking system as objects connected to additional users who are connected to an object connected to the user. To recommend objects with which the user is likely to have an interest, the social networking system extracts one or more topics from the object connected to the user and from various candidate objects. Based on a topic graph, the social networking system determines measures of relatedness between topics extracted from various candidate objects and an object connected to the user. The measures of relatedness are then used to select one or more of the candidate objects to identify to the user.
