  • Patent number: 10430473
    Abstract: Architecture for deep mining of network resource references such as URLs. The architecture includes an extraction component configured to extract useful entity information from a collection of entity information, the collection of entity information derived from local search data; a distributed processing component configured to distributively query a search engine using the useful entity information and receive search results from the search engine, the search results comprising resource references; and, a selection component configured to remove non-relevant resource references to obtain candidate resource references and select a top resource reference from the candidate resource references, using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9683858
    Abstract: Described is a technology by which raw GPS data is processed into segments of a trip, with a predicted mode of transportation (e.g., walking, car, bus, bicycling) determined for each segment. The determined transportation modes may be used to tag the GPS data with transportation mode information, and/or dynamically used. Segments are first characterized as walk segments or non-walk segments based on velocity and/or acceleration. Features corresponding to each of those walk segments or non-walk segments are extracted, and analyzed with an inference model to determine probabilities for the possible modes of transportation for each segment. Post-processing may be used to modify the probabilities based on transitioning considerations with respect to the transportation mode of an adjacent segment. The most probable transportation mode for each segment is selected.
