Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system calculates one or more quantiles from a distribution of historic user engagement with content within a member segment of a social network. Next, the system performs a comparison of the one or more quantiles with a current measurement of user engagement with a content item within the member segment. When the comparison indicates that the current measurement of user engagement exceeds a threshold, the system presents the content item to one or more members in the member segment.
