Abstract: A system to improve real-time generation of a graphical user interface for overlapping electronic content is described. The system retrieves, responsive to a search request input into a computing device and received via a computer network, places of interest from a places of interest database, and content items from a content item database. The system selects, based on a heuristic technique, a content item as a match for a place of interest. The system combines the content item with the place of interest to prevent a first marker of the content item from obscuring a second marker of the place of interest. The system renders, for display on the graphical user interface via the computing device, a single marker for the content item and the place of interest combined to prevent the first marker of the content item from obscuring the second marker of the place of interest.

Abstract: A computerized method for automatically generating display content includes receiving a uniform resource locator, wherein the uniform resource locator specifies a landing resource and extracting visual information from the landing resource, wherein the visual information defines one or more images, texts, and colors displayed on the landing resource. The method further includes selecting one or more images, one or more text snippets, and one or more colors based on the visual information extracted from the landing resource, generating a layout for a content item based on one or more of the selected images or selected text snippets, and assembling the content item by applying the selected images, the selected text snippets, and the selected colors to the generated layout.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes identifying a search query that was submitted through a map interface, determining that a number of specific query indicators that are included in the search query meets a pre-specified number of specific query indicators, wherein the specific query indicators are selected, at least in part, from a set consisting of commas and capital letters, classifying, in response to the determination, the search query as a specific place query, and providing, based on the determination, content that excludes sponsored content in response to the search query.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for obtaining a content item from a content server. The system may be configured to transmit, to a content server, a request for a content item, the request comprising search terms, determine a first query characteristic based on the search terms, and transmit, to the content server subsequent to the transmitting of the request, the first query characteristic. The system may further be configured to receive the content item from the content server, wherein the content item was selected by the content server from a plurality of content items based on at least one of the search terms or the first query characteristic.

Abstract: A method implemented on one or more processors includes identifying a user search query that was submitted through a map interface, wherein the user search query identifies a first geographic location, determining a first geographic identifier that is not included in the user search query based on an abstraction of the first geographic location, determining, based on the first geographic identifier, a vertical market that provides services within an area corresponding to the first geographic identifier, determining a search vertical keyword not included in the user search query that identifies the vertical market, constructing a constructed search query comprising at least the first geographic identifier and the search vertical keyword, identifying sponsored content that is responsive to the constructed search query, and providing, in response to the user search query, data that cause presentation of the identified sponsored content in the map interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for generating a textual representation of points of interest (POIs) in a geographic area. The system may be configured to identify a plurality of points of interest (POIs) in a geographic area displayed in a mapping interface, calculate a rank score for each POI of the plurality of POIs in the geographic area based on POI information for each POI, generate a textual representation of the mapping interface based on the rank scores for the plurality of POIs, and submit the textual representation of the geographic area to an advertisement generator, wherein the advertisement generator is configured to select at least one advertisement associated with the geographic area to present to a user.

Abstract: Accuracy of rendering server-provided content at a client device can be automatically verified. To this end, content can be provided in a non-image format to the client device via a communication network, such that the client device renders the content to generate a rendered image. The content is rendered using a canonical rendering component to generate an expected rendered image. An expected result corresponding to the expected rendered image is generated, and the expected result can be be compared to verification data generated based on the rendered image to determine whether the client device correctly generated the rendered image.

Abstract: A computerized method for automatically generating display content includes receiving a uniform resource locator, wherein the uniform resource locator specifies a landing resource and extracting visual information from the landing resource, wherein the visual information defines one or more images, texts, and colors displayed on the landing resource. The method further includes selecting one or more images, one or more text snippets, and one or more colors based on the visual information extracted from the landing resource, generating a layout for a content item based on one or more of the selected images or selected text snippets, and assembling the content item by applying the selected images, the selected text snippets, and the selected colors to the generated layout.
