Abstract: Map data for generating a digital map of a geographic area is received, the digital map is generated using the received map data, and the digital map is displayed via a user interface. An interactive runway of photographic images corresponding to objects located within the geographic area is generated, the runway being an arrangement of the photographic images. Generating the runway may include rating each of the candidate photographic images corresponding to objects located within the within the geographic area using viewing signals related to at least one of the photographic image or an object depicted in the photographic image, and selecting, from among the candidate photographic images, the photographic images for inclusion in the interactive runway, using the rating. The interactive runway is displayed over the digital map.

Abstract: Map data for generating a digital map of a geographic area is received, the digital map is generated using the received map data, and the digital map is displayed via a user interface. An interactive runway of photographic images corresponding to objects located within the geographic area is generated, the runway being a linear arrangement of the photographic images. Generating the runway includes rating each of the candidate photographic images corresponding to objects located within the within the geographic area using viewing signals related to at least one of the photographic image or an object depicted in the photographic image, and selecting, from among the candidate photographic images, the photographic images for inclusion in the interactive runway, using the rating.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating descriptions of relationships between entities. In one aspect, a method includes identifying one or more related entities for a particular entity based at least in part on commonalities between the particular entity and the one or more related entities, sorting the commonalities according to a measure of uniqueness of each of the commonalities, and identifying a subset of the commonalities having a measure of uniqueness above a lower measure of uniqueness threshold. The identified subset of commonalities can include one or more commonalities. One or more commonalities can be selected from the subset of commonalities as indicative of a relationship to the particular entity, and a description of the relationship can be identified based on the selected one or more commonalities.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a search query; generating search results based on the search query; determining that a number of the search results is greater than a threshold; determining a category for each of the search results from among a plurality of categories; and transmitting the search results with instructions to display each of the search results based on its determined category.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. Information that is responsive to each of multiple distinct search queries is received from a server system. The information for each of the search queries identifies a geographical context or includes search results. One or more visual indications of the information for each of the search queries are displayed on a geographical map. A user interface element for each of the search queries is displayed. The user interface element for each of the search queries, when selected by a user, causes removal from the display of the one or more visual indications of the information for the search query that corresponds to the selected user interface element.
