    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a number of candidate geographic coordinates that each correspond to a place. At least one of the candidate geographic coordinates is determined based on a polygon extracted from a satellite image that corresponds to an area circumscribing the place and each of the candidate geographic coordinates is associated with one or more features. The method also includes, for each of the candidate geographic coordinates, determining a confidence score by applying to the signals associated with the candidate geographic coordinate a function trained by a machine-learning (ML) algorithm; ranking the candidate geographic coordinates based on their confidence scores; and assigning to the place a highest ranked one of the candidate geographic coordinates as the place's geo-location.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more computing devices of an online social network, receives, from a mobile-client system, geographic-location information associated with the mobile-client system. The one or more computing devices identify multiple candidate place-entities associated with the online social network that correspond to the geographic-location information, where each candidate place-entity is associated with a particular geographic location. The method also includes determining, for each candidate place-entity, a confidence score based on the geographic-location information associated with the mobile-client system, where the confidence score represents a probability that the first user is located at the candidate place-entity. A location-probability distribution associated with the candidate place-entity can also be used to calculate the confidence score. The one or more computing devices send, to the mobile-client system, information associated with one or more of the candidate place-entities based on their respective confidence scores.

    Abstract: An online system maintains various labels identifying physical locations, allowing users to identify a physical location to the online system by specifying the label identifying the physical location. When a user does not identify a label corresponding to location coordinates provided to the online system by a client device, the online system selects a maintained label and prompts the user to indicate whether the user visited the physical location identified by the selected label. To select the label, the online system accounts for likelihoods of the received location coordinates being identified by various labels and values of the online system of identifying whether different labels identify received location coordinates. The online system may also account for other prompts presented to the user or to other users when determining whether to prompt the user to indicate whether the user visited the physical location identified by the selected label.

    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive input associated with a social networking system user account. The input includes content to be published to the social networking system. In response to the received input, one or more location suggestions are identified based upon the content. The one or more identified location suggestions are transmitted to a user device associated with the user account. Selection of a location suggestion is received. The content and selected location is published as a post within the social networking system.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing devices of an online social network, receiving, from a mobile-client system of a first user of the online social network, geographic-location information associated with the mobile-client system. The method further includes identifying multiple candidate place-entities associated with the online social network that correspond to the geographic-location information, where each candidate place-entity is associated with a particular geographic location. The method also includes determining, for each candidate place-entity, a confidence score based on the geographic-location information associated with the mobile-client system and a location-probability distribution associated with the candidate place-entity, where the confidence score represents a probability that the first user is located at the candidate place-entity. The method also includes sending, to the mobile-client system of the first user, information associated with one or more of the candidate place-entities having a confidence score above a threshold confidence score.
