  • Patent number: 11663277
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving multiple resources, each resource including electronic media content. For each resource, a computing system identifies one or more entities that are associated with the resource. For at least one pair of identified entities, the system determines a quantity of resources in which each entity of the pair is associated. The system determines, based on the quantity of resources, an occurrence of an event that is associated with a particular pair of entities. The system generates a representation that corresponds to the event and based on the resources in which each entity of the pair of entities is associated. The system provides, for output to a user device, the representation that corresponds to the event.

  • Patent number: 11308137
    Abstract: As provided herein, a list of locales of interest in a location may be sorted into one or more categories. A user performing a search for a locale of interest (e.g., a restaurant) may be identified. A local score may be assigned to the locale of interest based upon a number of local users (e.g., users residing in the location) that perform the search. A second user may be determined to be near the locale of interest. A category of interest may be determined for the second user (e.g., an interest in local non-tourist restaurants). Responsive to the category of interest corresponding to the category and the local score of the locale of interest exceeding an interest threshold, the second user may be provided with a recommendation to go to the locale of interest. The locale of interest may be a local favorite restaurant rather than a tourist trap.
