Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system associated with a user of an online social network, data indicating that the user is located at a first geographic location at a first time; accessing a first embedding representing a first place-entity corresponding to the first geographic location; accessing multiple second embeddings representing multiple respective second place-entities each corresponding to a second geographic location; calculating, a similarity metric between the embedding representing the first place-entity and each of the embeddings representing the second place-entities; ranking each of the second place-entities based on their calculated similarity metrics; and sending, to the client system, information associated with one or more second geographic locations corresponding to one or more second place-entities having a ranking greater than a threshold ranking.
