Abstract

In one embodiment, a social graph associated with a social networking system may comprise user nodes, concept nodes, meta nodes, and edges between the nodes. A meta node may be connected by an edge to each of a set of concept nodes sharing attributes. A request associated with a first user may be received, wherein a user node for the first user is associated with a first one of the concept nodes. A meta node connected to the first concept node may be identified. Second concept nodes may be identified, wherein each of the second concept nodes is connected to the identified meta node. A value may be determined for each of the second concept nodes. Finally, information may be presented to the first user, wherein the information is related to at least one of the second concept nodes based on respective values for the second concept nodes.
