Abstract:
A method includes collecting user interaction data for one or more users in an extended social network, clustering each of the one or more users into one or more groups of users based on the collected user interaction data for each user, wherein each of the one or more users is clustered into no more than one group of the one or more groups of users, monitoring, over a time period, a change in a size of each group of users at one or more increments of the time period and generating observation information for each group of users during each of the one or more increments of the time period, wherein the observation information is based on the monitored change in size of each group of users.
Abstract:
Implementations relate to an image cache used for replacing portions of images. In some implementations, a method includes examining a received image and detecting a subject depicted in a subject portion of the received image. The method determines a likelihood that the subject portion will be used as a replacement to be inserted in place of one or more corresponding subject portions in future images examined at a later time. The subject portion, or a reference thereto, is stored in an image cache in response to the determined likelihood being greater than a predetermined threshold. The image cache is available to be searched for the subject portion and other portions of images to replace corresponding portions of future images.
Abstract:
Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.

Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for providing a suggestion for a uniform resource locator (URL) on an electronic device. One or more URLs are identified within content of at least one document accessed by the electronic device. Each of the identified one or more URLs are added to a list of suggested URLs. A request for a URL suggestion is received in association with an application running on the electronic device. In response to the received request, the URL suggestion is provided based on the list of suggested URLs.
