User-card interfaces

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system associated with a first user, a request to access a user-card interface. The method includes generating, in response to the request, multiple user-cards, each user-card being associated with a pre-selected query. Each user-card includes references to second users matching the pre-selected query associated with the user-card. The method includes calculating a user-card score for each user-card. The user-card score represents a relevance of the pre-selected query to the first user and a relevance of the second users referenced in the user-card to the first user. The relevance of each second user referenced in the user-card is based on an affinity coefficient of the first user with respect to the second user. The method includes sending, to the client system, instructions for presenting the user-card interface with user-cards in ranked order based on the user-card score associated with each user-card.
