Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining feature scores for message features. An electronic message associated with at least one user and associated with an event may be identified. A likelihood that the at least one user interacted with the event may be identified. One or more message features of the electronic message may be determined. Based on the likelihood that the at least one user interacted with the event, a feature score may be associated with a given message feature of the one or more message features, where the feature score is indicative of a likelihood that the at least one user will interact with another event associated with another message having the given message feature. The feature score may be associated with the given message feature.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to associating a task with a user based on the user selecting a task suggestion that is provided to the user in response to a user query. In some implementations, the task may be identified based on similarities between the words and/or phrases of the user query and a task suggestion that is associated with a task. In some implementations, the task may be identified based on user data associated with the user. In some implementations, the task may be associated with additional information related to completing the task.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining an association between a message trail and a task entry of a user and associating an n-gram with the task entry, wherein the n-gram is based on one or more messages of the message trail. A similarity score between the n-gram and one or more aspects of the associated task entry may be determined. The similarity score may be utilized, for example, to determine when to associate the n-gram with the task entry and/or how to utilize the associated n-gram with the task entry.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein for recommending candidates for consumption. A first set of one or more candidates for first time consumption by a user and associated utility scores may be identified. A second set of one or more candidates for reconsumption by the user may be determined. Utility scores of the second set of one or more candidates for reconsumption may be determined based on consumption history of the user and aggregate consumption history of a population of users of which the user is associated. A candidate to be recommended to the user for consumption may be selected from the first or second set. The candidate may be selected based at least in part on the utility scores of the first and second sets.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing one or more completion step suggestions for a task that is associated with a user. In some implementations, the completion step suggestions may be provided to the user based on the satisfaction of a trigger condition. In some implementations, a trigger condition may be based on a user geographic location. In some implementations, a trigger condition may be based on an action of the user. In some implementations, a trigger condition may be based on a time when the associated task may be completed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining a characteristic of a location based on visit data associated with the location. Visit data indicative of travel of users to a first location from one or more other locations and/or of travel of users from the first location to one or more other locations may be utilized to determine information about the location. In some implementations visit data may be utilized to determine a connectedness measure and associate the second location with the first location based on the connectedness measure. A characteristic of the first location may optionally be determined based on a characteristic of the second location and/or an attribute associated with the visit data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing additional information related to a vague term in a message. For example, in some implementations, one or more messages sent by a sender and received by one or more recipients may be identified, a vague term in the message may be identified, a user-restricted database may be identified that is associated with the sender or a recipient, and additional information related to the vague term may be determined from the user-restricted database. A vague term is a term which may have multiple meanings and that can be clarified with additional information. In some implementations, user-restricted databases may include additional information that is associated with the user that may be utilized to replace the vague term with a clarified term. In some implementations, a user-restricted database may be utilized to identify additional information in another database that may be utilized to clarify the vague term.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying one or more messages sent by a user, identifying two or more contacts that are associated with one or more of the messages, determining a strength of relationship score between identified contacts, and utilizing the strength of relationship scores to provide additional information related to the contacts. A strength of relationship score between a contact and one or more other contacts may be determined based on one or more properties of one or more of the messages. In some implementations, contacts groups may be determined based on the strength of relationship scores. In some implementations, contacts groups may be utilized to disambiguate references to contacts in messages. In some implementations, contacts group may be utilized to provide suggestions to the user of additional contacts of a contacts group that includes the indicated recipient contact of a message.
