De-duping events on online social networks

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method may include, by one or more computing systems of an online social network, receiving a first event listing corresponding to a first event, placing the first event listing in a first bucket of an array based on a time of the first event, identifying one or more second event listings having a time placing them in the first bucket of the array or one of the buckets of the array adjacent to the first bucket, computing, for each of the second event listings, a similarity score between the first event listing and the second event listing, and updating each second event listing having a similarity score greater than a threshold score to include redirection information to the first event listing.
