Abstract:
|
The Facebook platform allows both users and external websites to easily add new entries to the entities graph. These entities are the interests, movies, books, tv shows, music, places, and other concepts that people care about and connect to. However, without proper maintenance and incentive structures, problems of deduplication and disambiguation can severely diminish its quality. In this talk, we discuss the challenges and progress in building and maintaining Facebook's social graph of entities. We propose several solutions for these problems that can be applied at Facebook's scale.
