Ranking and filtering comments based on feed interaction history

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving a set of comments associated with one or more content objects in a social-networking system, determining a score for each of the comments for a selected one of the content objects, where the score for each of the comments is based on signals associated with the comment, and the signals are related to a history of user interactions by a target user with the comments in the set, ordering the comments for the selected content object based on the respective scores, and presenting the ordered comments to the target user. The content objects may be presented in a newsfeed for the target user. The signals may be based on a history of user interactions by other users with the comments in the set, where the other users are connected to the target user in the social-networking system.
