Abstract: The invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location information. A raw signal is ingested and normalized, including deriving a partially normalized signal. The partially normalized signal can be a signal including a Time, a Context and possibly a non-dispositive location hint. A list of one or more geo cells where the raw signal potentially originated is accessed. In one aspect, the one or more geo cells are accessed based on the non-dispositive location hint. A location annotation identifying a geo cell from among the one or more geo cells is formulated. The partially normalized signal can be annotated with the location annotation. A location in a two dimensional space is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the partially normalized signal forming a fully normalized signal. The fully normalized signal can include a Time, a Location, and a Context.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location information. In general, signal ingestion modules ingest different types of raw signals and normalize the raw signals to form normalized signals. In one aspect, a raw signal is ingested. A partially normalized signal is derived from the raw signal. A list of one or more geo cells where the raw signal potentially originated is accessed. A location annotation identifying a geo cell from among the one or more geo cells is formulated. The partially normalized signal is annotated with the location annotation. In another aspect, a location annotation identifying a geo cell is formulated. A partially normalized signal is annotated with the location annotation. A location in a two dimensional space is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the partially normalized signal to form at fully normalized signal.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location from signal content. In general, signal ingestion modules ingest different types of raw structured and/or raw unstructured signals on an ongoing basis. The signal ingestion modules normalize raw signals to form normalized signals. In one aspect, a raw signal is ingested. A derived signal is derived from the raw signal. A list of one or more geo cells where the raw signal potentially originated is accessed. A location annotation identifying a geo cell from among the one or more geo cells is formulated. The derived signal is annotated with the location annotation. A location in a two dimensional space is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the derived signal forming a normalized signal.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location from signal content. A raw signal is ingested. A partially normalized signal is derived from the raw signal. One or more named entities are recognized from content included in the raw signal. A geo cell database is queried with the one or more recognized named entities. A geo cell where the raw signal originated is identified. The partially normalized signal is annotated with a location annotation identifying the geo cell. A location is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the partially normalized signal to form a normalized signal.
