Abstract: A computer implemented method for estimating a geographic location (geotag) from one or more short texts is described. Geo-tagging a short text post involves first determining location candidates from parsing text and then determining location resolutions (eg city, state) for each location candidate. Typically there are multiple resolutions for each candidate and then location resolution disambiguation is performed to identify the correct resolution from the set of potential resolutions This may be achieved by using context provided by other candidates within the post, as well as additional geographic context derived from the post author and their network. In particular, anchor locations may be obtained from metadata associated with the post to assist in resolution disambiguation.

Abstract: A method for determining a risk profile of an entity of interest, comprising interrogating a social media platform to determine a social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and generating a linked social network data structure linking the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest to one or more other social media accounts on the social media platform corresponding to other entities, where an individual link is based on one or more social media interactions between the social media account corresponding to the entity of interest and each of the one or more other social media accounts corresponding to other entities.

Abstract: A system, device and method for allowing protected content to be transferred to end user communication devices that support different digital rights management (DRM) formats or schemes than the DRM format of the content provider. The method includes providing a Limited Rights Issuer (LRI) that issues content and associated digital rights to one or more of the end user devices within a domain defined by a Domain Authority with which the LRI has registered. The Limited Rights Issuer also translates content and associated digital rights information from the DRM format of an upstream DRM system to the DRM format of a downstream DRM system, which includes the end user devices within the defined domain. The system allows select end user devices to enjoy interoperability of content protected under different DRM schemes, while allowing content providers to still maintain a suitable level of DRM protection for their content.
