  • TEXT ENTITY DETECTION AND RECOGNITION FROM IMAGES
    Publication number: 20200004815
    Abstract: Named entity recognition can be performed on an image to classify any text in an image. A boundary that encompasses the classified entity may be predicted. Subsequently, upon request, optical character recognition (OCR) can be performed on just the region inside the boundary. The disclosed implementations conserve computer resources such as processing power and battery compared to performing OCR on the entire image.

  • Curating media from social connections
    Patent number: 9836464
    Abstract: Media files may be curated for a user based on a location of a client device associated with the user. A user carrying a client device may arrive at a particular location on a given day. A computer-implemented process may include determining whether the given day and/or the particular location is “unique” to the user in some fashion, which may be based on one or more criteria used to quantify or otherwise evaluate uniqueness of the day or location. At least partly in response, media file sharing service may be queried to identify shared media files that were created at the particular location, wherein the shared media files are associated with one or more entities having social connections to the user. A curated subset of the identified media files may be automatically created and a notification may be issued to the user.
