Abstract: Determined seed groups herein improve content dissemination across a communication network connecting a plurality of users. Probabilities of each user in the plurality influencing remaining users in the plurality to observe the content are identified to select a first influential user from the plurality. The seed group size is established and a user of the plurality with a probability proximate to the probability of the first influential user is identified. Based on the seed group size, the probabilities of the remaining users in the plurality are unified with the probability of the first influential user to determine new probabilities of the remaining users, and another user of the plurality with a probability proximate to the probability of the first influential user is identified. The method then provides for selecting the users identified as having probabilities proximate to the probability of the first influential user to establish the seed group.

Abstract: A memory management unit (MMU) is disclosed for storing mappings between virtual addresses and physical addresses. The MMU includes a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) and a memory management unit controller. The TLB stores mappings between a virtual address and a physical address. The MMU controller receives a request to insert an entry into the TLB and performs a set of operations based on the received request. The MMU controller determines whether an entry stored in the TLB is associated with the virtual address of the request, removes the entry stored in the TLB that is associated with the virtual address and inserts the requested entry into the TLB.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing travel-related information for a location to a user based on activity indications of the user that are related to the location. The location may be determined based on a set of one or more related activity indications and a travel-related score may be determined for the location that is indicative of likelihood that the user has interest in travelling to the location. The user may be provided the travel-related information for the location based on the travel-related score.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for identifying suggestive intent in social posts. In one or more implementations, a topic is received and social posts to one or more social networks that are related to the topic are collected. Then, one or more suggestive intent posts expressing suggestions towards the topic are identified from the collected social posts. In one or more implementations, a set of related topics are received and social posts to one or more social networks that correspond to the related topics are collected. Then, aspects corresponding to the related topics are identified, and a sentiment score is generated for each aspect of each related topic that can be used to compare aspects of the related topics. In one or more implementations a suggestive intent model, usable to identify social posts expressing suggestive intent, is built from a training corpus of annotated social posts.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for predicting reactions to short-text posts. In one or more implementations, a prediction model for short-text posts is generated from previous posts to a social network and responses to the posts by the social network community. Subsequently, the prediction model can be used to predict the social network community's reaction to a proposed post prior to the proposed post being posted to the social network.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for normalizing user responses by removing behavioral bias. In one or more implementations, a response normalization model is built from user responses to one or more events. The response normalization model clusters users into behavioral classification groups based on the user responses. The response normalization model can then be used to normalize user responses by removing behavioral bias from user responses.
