    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: An online system receives information from client devices describing locations of online system users and identifies certain events based on the information. To account for different rates at which information is received from client devices when identifying events, the online system identifies a group of users associated with location information received at greater than a threshold rate and an alternative group of users associated with information received at less than the threshold rate. Based on a value associated with the group and an additional value associated with the alternative group, the online system computes a scaling factor that is applied to the additional value, allowing the online system to account for potential events associated with the alternative group that were not identified because of the lower rate at which the online system received location information associated with users in the additional group.
