Description

In one embodiment, a social networking system, in response to receiving an action request from a user, expands the portion of a social networking web site with which the user interacted to initiate the action request, and populates the expanded portion with object suggestions of the same type as the target object of the action request. In particular embodiments, the object suggestions are based at least in part on the characteristics of the target object of the action request. Such embodiments capitalize on the transitory mood of the user and facilitate and promote the chaining of subsequent action requests.

Description

Users of a social networking system perform actions on various objects maintained by the social networking system. Some of these actions may indicate that the user has a negative sentiment for an object. To make use of this negative sentiment when providing content to the user, when the social networking system determines a user performs an action on an object, the social networking system identifies topics associated with the object and associates the negative sentiment with one or more of the topics. This association between one or more topics and negative sentiment may be used to decrease the likelihood that the social networking system presents content associated with a topic that is associated with a negative sentiment of the user.

Description

Techniques for emotion detection and content delivery are described. In one embodiment, for example, an emotion detection component may identify at least one type of emotion associated with at least one detected emotion characteristic. A storage component may store the identified emotion type. An application programming interface (API) component may receive a request from one or more applications for emotion type and, in response to the request, return the identified emotion type. The one or more applications may identify content for display based upon the identified emotion type. The identification of content for display by the one or more applications based upon the identified emotion type may include searching among a plurality of content items, each content item being associated with one or more emotion type. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Description

A social networking system identifies communications about an object associated with a brand owner. For each communication, the social networking system identifies users who were generated the communication, users who were exposed to the communication, and users who were not exposed to the communication. The social networking system measures the impact of the communications on the behavior and/or sentiment of the users towards the brand owner. For example, the social networking system presents users with surveys after presentation of a communication about an object associated with a brand owner and determines the impact of the communication from the responses to the survey. The impact of the communications may then be reported to the brand owner.

For each communication, the social networking system identifies users who were generated the communication, users who were exposed to the communication, and users who were not exposed to the communication. The social networking system determines a sentiment associated with a communication and may send a report based on the sentiment of the communications towards the brand owner. A request from a brand owner to present one or more response communications to users based on the users' relationship to a communication from a user about the object and the sentiment determined from the communication may be received by the social networking system. Based on the request, the social networking system presents a response communication to one or more users.

Description

Exemplary embodiments relate to the application of media effects, such as visual overlays, sound effects, etc. to a video conversation. A media effect may be applied as a reaction to an occurrence in the conversation, such as in response to an emotional reaction detected by emotion analysis of information associated with the video. Effect application may be controlled through gestures, such as applying different effects with different gestures, or cancelling automatic effect application using a gesture. Effects may also be applied in group settings, and may affect multiple users. A real-time data channel may synchronize effect application across multiple participants. When broadcasting a video stream that includes effects, the three channels may be sent to an intermediate server, which stitches the three channels together into a single video stream; the single video stream may then be sent to a broadcast server for distribution to the broadcast recipients.

uri

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200286000

Description

A social networking system infers a sentiment polarity of a user toward content of a page. The sentiment polarity of the user is inferred based on received information about an interaction between the user and the page (e.g., like, report, etc.), and may be based on analysis of a topic extracted from text on the page. The system infers a positive or negative sentiment polarity of the user toward the content of the page, and that sentiment polarity then may be associated with any second or subsequent interaction from the user related to the page content. The system may identify a set of trusted users with strong sentiment polarities toward the content of a page or topic, and may use the trusted user data as training data for a machine learning model, which can be used to more accurately infer sentiment polarity of users as new data is received.
