  • Patent number: 10586127
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting audiovisual features from online document elements are described herein. A computing device can identify a first audiovisual content element on an online document and can retrieve a second audiovisual content element from a content provider database. The computing device can extract an image, video, or audio feature from the first and the second audiovisual content elements by applying image feature, video frame feature, or audio fingerprint detection. The computing device can determine a match between the features extracted from the first and the second audiovisual content elements. The computing device can select the second audiovisual content element for display on the online document based on the match. The computing device can transmit the second audiovisual content element for insertion in a content slot of the online document.

  • Patent number: 9594826
    Abstract: Co-selected images are labeled based on a topic score that is a measure of relevance of the co-selected image to a first topic to which a reference image belongs. The first topic to which the reference image belongs is identified based on a reference label associated with the reference image. The co-selected images are images that are selected for presentation subsequent to selection of the reference image during a user session. The co-selected images are identified based on selection data for user sessions in which the reference image was selected for presentation. The topic score is generated based on a frequency of selection of the co-selected image. Image search results for a second topic can be filtered to remove images that are labeled as belonging to the first topic or the image search results can be reordered to adjust the presentation positions at which images are referenced based on the topic to which the images belong.

  • Patent number: 9177018
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for cross-language image search. One method includes receiving an image search query and image search results responsive to the image search query. Translations of the image search query into other languages are obtained, and search results responsive to each of the translations are received. Instructions are provided to a client device. The instructions cause the client device to present a user interface that includes one or more of the image search results responsive to the image search query and a cross-language search option for each of the translations. Each cross-language search option includes the translation and a preview of the image search results responsive to the translation.

  • Patent number: 8645940
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for installing and executing shared applications in shared folders. A program is installed by a base computer, having a local storage, to a shared folder accessible to multiple client computers over a network. Installing the program adds files for the program to the shared folder and modifies the local device used by the base computer and enables the base computer to run the program by accessing the program files in the shared folder. An image is created of the local device of the base computer including the installed program. The image is provided to the client computers to apply to local devices of the client computers. Applying the image to the local devices of the client computers enables the client computers to access the program files in the shared folder to run the program.
