    Abstract: A location prediction framework is described for applying location labels or tags to target documents and/or identifying location-sensitive queries. Terms in content and queries are represented by corresponding term locations vectors (TLVs) in which the term is represented as a weighted distribution across locations. Each element of a TLV represents a probability that the term corresponding to the TLV relates to a particular location. Predicted locations may be introduced as features to a ranking framework to improve the identification and ranking of search results for a given query.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for determining and suggesting query auto-completions (QACs). In some embodiments, when a user is inputting a search query, the disclosed systems and methods can provide a QAC suggestion based on the inputted text in addition to application programs installed and/or executing on the user's device.

    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for audio verification. An audio signal, comprising a code for user verification, may be identified. A second audio signal is created comprising speech. The audio signal and the second audio signal may be altered to comprise a same or similar volume, pitch, amplitude, and/or speech rate. The audio signal and the second audio signal may be combined to generate a verification audio signal. The verification audio signal may be presented to a user for the user verification. Verification may be performed to determine whether the user has access to content or a service based upon user input, obtained in response to the user verification audio signal, matching the code within the user verification audio signal. In an example, the user verification may comprise verifying that the user is human.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide a unified digital content discovery framework that implements a combination of a logistic loss function and a pair-wise loss function for information retrieval. The logistic loss function reduces non-relevant images from appearing in the retrieved results, while the pair-wise loss function ensures that the highest-quality content is included in such results. The combination of such functions provides a search information retrieval system with the novel functionality of quantifying a search results' relevance and quality in accordance with the searcher's intent.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in social media content generation and delivery and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatically method for automatically summarizing social media content using a timeline comprising a set (or chain) of episodes and a summary of each episode. The disclosed systems and methods identify a number of episodes based on analysis of each social media content item of a corpus, identify a number of social content items to summarize each episode, and generate a timeline summarization of the corpus of social media content items.
