one or more processors; and
computer storage memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, implement a method for selecting a people highlight to be shown on a user device, the method comprising:
monitoring the user device to determine a person of interest to a user of the user device;
determining a set of possible people highlights associated with the person of interest, each highlight of the set of possible people highlights identifying a fact pertaining to the person of interest;
determining a user context relative to the person of interest;
based on the user context, ranking the set of possible people highlights;
based on interactions of the user with previous people highlights or user-configured preferences pertaining to the set of possible people highlights determining to suppress and not present at least one people highlight within the ranking of the set of possible people highlights;
creating a modified ranking by removing from the ranking the at least one people highlight determined to be suppressed; and
