BALANCING AN IMPROVEMENT IN A PREDICTED LIKELIHOOD OF USER INTERACTION WITH CONTENT IN AN ONLINE SYSTEM AGAINST A LATENCY REQUIRED TO OBTAIN THE IMPROVED PREDICTION
An online system ranks content eligible for presentation to an online system user based on a prediction made by a general model or a specific model indicating a likelihood that the user will interact with a content item, in which the specific model has a higher latency than the general model.

Selecting content and identifying users for identification to additional users of social networking system based on user attributes or content item characteristics
A social networking system provides a user with a feed of content items associated with other users connected to the user via the social networking system. Additionally, the social networking system identifies additional content items for presentation to the user and generates an additional feed including the additional content items. The additional content items may be determined by identifying content items having various characteristics and scoring the content items based on the characteristics. Content items having at least a threshold score are identified as additional content items. Examples of characteristics of content items include users providing content items to the social networking system, locations associated with social networking system users, and interaction with content items by social networking system users. In some embodiments, the additional feed modifies presentation of the additional content items based on their associated scores.

Exemplary embodiments relate to improvements in the design of a messaging inbox. The inbox may display different units or “modules” for providing a user with quick access to different inbox functionalities. Content may be ranked and ordered within a module, and modules may be ranked and ordered with respect to each other. Inter-module ranking may be based on elements such as individual activity and the activity of the messaging service's user base, the value of the module to the messaging service, and offline models. Intra-module ranking may be defined by individual modules (e.g., based on recency, importance to user, affinity, etc.). Intra-module ranking may affect inter-module ranking, such as when individual content in a low-rated module is particularly exciting or pertinent (causing the entire module to receive a higher inter-module ranking).
The present invention provides systems and methods for color tuning optical modules and executing color calibration methods on artificial reality systems and devices. Embodiments can include a lens with a colored coating, a plurality of cameras, including a visible spectrum camera and an infrared camera, each positioned behind the lens, and a processor and memory. The colored coating includes a plurality of regions for selectively transmitting light. The processor and memory can be configured to receive light information indicative of environmental information for executing an operation on the device, identify wavelengths of light reflected by the color profile in front of each camera, determine a color calibration to amplify wavelengths of reflected light, update the environmental information based on the color calibration, and execute the operation on the device.
A system for simultaneously providing multiple perspectives of video content during a communication is disclosed. The system may receive first video content captured by a first communication device. The first video content may be associated with a first viewpoint perspective indicating first video data associated with a view that a first user views via the first communication device when looking at an environment. The system may receive second video content captured by a second communication device. The second video content may be associated with a second viewpoint perspective associated with second video data indicating at least one of the first user or one or more objects within the environment. The system may provide the first video data associated with the first viewpoint perspective and the second video data associated with the second viewpoint perspective simultaneously to one or more communication devices during a communication associated with a plurality of devices.
Each image in a sequence of images includes three-dimensional locations of object features depicted in the image, and a first camera position of the camera when the image is captured. A gap is detected between first camera positions associated with a first continuous and first camera positions associated with a second continuous subset, the first camera positions associated with the second continuous subset adjusted to close the gap. A view path for a virtual camera is determined based on the first camera positions and the adjusted first camera positions. Second camera positions are determined for the virtual camera, for each of the second camera positions: one of the first camera positions associated with the sequence of images is selected and warped using the first camera position, the second camera position, and the three-dimensional locations of object features depicted in the selected image. A sequence of the warped images is outputted.
