  • Publication number: 20230252069
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for associating a collection of media items with a graphical element. For instance, a system can: generate corpus data from a set of features of a collection of media content items; determine a set of candidate graphical elements for the collection of media content items based on the corpus data and further based on a set of first mappings associating at least one graphical element and at least one n-gram; determine a set of prediction scores corresponding to the set of candidate graphical elements based on the set of features; determine a ranking for the set of candidate graphical elements based on the set of prediction stores; select a set of predicted graphical elements, from the set of candidate graphical elements, based on the ranking; and provide the set of predicted graphical elements in association with the collection of media content items.

  • Publication number: 20210357418
    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations for ranking a feed in a social network. In one aspect, a method of generating a feed includes identifying a group of users associated with a first user, identify notifications for the first user based on the group of users, determine one or more actions that may result from each of the identified notifications, rank the notifications based on the one or more determined actions; and display the notifications to the first user according to the ranking.

  • Patent number: 9348925
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for servicing search queries. In one aspect, a method includes determining that a general search query is a locally significant query for a user location that is associated with the user general search query. In turn, a local search query is generated using the general search query and a location phrase representing the user location. A set of set of general search results responsive to the general search query and a set of local search results responsive to the local search query are requested. A final set of search results responsive to the search query are selected. The final set of search results include at least one search result that is included in the set of local search results, and is not included in a pre-specified quantity of highest ranking search results from the set of general search results. Data that cause presentation of the final set of search results are provided.

  • Publication number: 20100147241
    Abstract: The present invention refers to the technical field of starter plates in general, more specifically a starter plate with a friction free wheel system by rollers, which is applied to internal combustion engines of motorcycles or vehicles making use of a similar starter motor with the purpose to improve performance, increase durability, reduce the final price of the product and simplify manufacturing and assembly processes. The assembly preserves the locking feature under high torque in one direction (joined element by the input torque of the driver element) and, after starting, it allows free turning of the joined element in the opposite direction, which then has higher rotation than the driver element.
