Abstract
A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein are directed to Future Connection Engine that generates a select pairing of member accounts for a potential social network connection. The Future Connection Engine predicts, according to the prediction model, a first number of subsequent social network connections for a first member account in the select pairing that will occur after establishing the potential social network connection and a second number of subsequent social network connections for a second member account in the select pairing that will occur after establishing the potential social network connection. The Future Connection Engine generates connection recommendations for display to the select pairing based on whether the first and/or the second number of subsequent social network connections satisfies a threshold.
