Identifying Groups For A Social Networking System User Based On Interactions By The User With Various Groups

A social networking system selects a set of groups for presentation to a user of the social networking system. To select groups, the social networking system determines scores for various groups representing a likelihood of the user interacting with the groups. The social networking system may identify a set of groups based on interactions between the user and various groups occurring during a specific time interval and determine scores for groups in the set. When determining a score for a group, the social networking system accounts for times associated with interactions between the user and various groups. Based on the scores, one or more groups are selected and presented to the user. Additionally, the social networking system may identify a time to present the selected one or more groups to the user based on prior user interactions with various groups.
