1. A method comprising:
- by a computer server, accessing, in a social graph associated with one or more computing systems of a social network environment, a user node representing a particular user, the user node connected to a plurality of attribute nodes; and
by the computer server, for each of a plurality of object nodes in the social graph, each object node connected to a plurality of attribute nodes, calculating a match coefficient between the user node and an individual object node, wherein the calculating comprises;
calculating, for each attribute node in a set of all attribute nodes connected to both the user node and the object node, a first coefficient between the user node and the attribute node and a second coefficient between the object node and the attribute node; and
obtaining the sum-product of all the first and second coefficients.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes one or more computing systems that implement a social networking environment and are operable to access stored information including a plurality of nodes including a first set of user nodes that each correspond to a respective user and a second set of concept nodes that each correspond to a respective concept. The system may generate a match coefficient for the user and concept, representing the degree of relevance of a particular concept node to a particular user node.
