Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query associated with a trending topic selected by a user of an online social network from multiple trending topics and rewriting the query into a query command including multiple query constraints. The method also includes identifying one or more posts matching the query command, where each identified post has privacy settings making the post visible to all users of the online social network, and calculating, for each of the identified posts, a score for the post based on one or more post-quality features, where the score is calculated using a machine-learning model that assigns a particular weight to each of the one or more post-quality features. The method also includes sending to the user a commentary module including at least a portion of each of one or more of the identified posts having scores higher than a threshold score.
