Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to genetic variants associated with local adiposity traits and metabolic disease. Embodiments disclosed herein provide genetic variants associated with local adiposity traits obtained by adjusting adiposity traits for BMI and height. Embodiments disclosed herein also provide genes linked to variants and associated with the local adiposity traits. The local adiposity traits are associated with metabolic disorders. In example embodiments, variants indicate risk for a metabolic disorder and can be used to determine treatment. In example embodiments, genes associated with local adiposity traits and/or variants can be targeted therapeutically. In example embodiments, a risk for a metabolic disorder can be determined by detecting one or more risk variants associated with a local adiposity trait.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing, based on a partial query string, a plurality of autosuggestions that are diverse in nature such that the user is more likely to see the preferred complete query terms and therefore more likely to select one of the preferred suggestions which will increase search efficiency. As described herein, such functionality relates to generating cluster groups of candidate suggestions, each cluster including sub-topics, then performing the search based on a selected cluster or sub-topic. To generate the cluster groups, systems and methods, as described herein, analyze the similarity between candidate suggestions as well as the popularity of generated sub-topics. The cluster groups and sub-topics may be displayed visually, and in certain embodiments the cluster groups are ordered vertically from top to bottom and aligned to the left side of the display, while sub-topics are ordered horizontally from left to right following the cluster label.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for providing personalized, emotionally connected responses from a digital assistant. The emotionally connected (personalized) responses may include, among other things, a handwritten response. The handwritten response may be provided in an image format in a handwriting script unique to the digital assistant. The emotionally connected responses may be provided in response to an event that triggers emotionally connected/personalized responses such as emotional query inputs, calendar entries, holidays, tasks, and the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods, and computer-readable media embodying the systems and methods, for responding to a search query from a computer user with diversified search results are presented. In response to a search query, a set of search results that satisfy the search query are identified. The set of search results are re-ordered according to diversity criteria associated with the requesting computer user. The diversity criteria may comprise any of a sentiment, a content source, and/or ratios thereof. One or more search results pages are generated according to the set of re-ordered search results and returned to the requesting computer user in response to the search query.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for identifying queries having a version-intent and presenting search results in accordance with the version-intent are provided. Subject-versions associated with retrievable documents are identified and associated therewith as subject-version tags. When a search query is received, it is determined whether the query has a version-intent indicative of a particular version associated with a subject of the query. Documents are retrieved that satisfy the input query and ranked for presentation based upon the particular subject-version indicated by the version-intent. The ranked documents are then presented. Also presented is a user-manipulatable tool, manipulation of which permits a user to indicate that information concerning a different subject-version is desired.

Abstract: A search engine may allow a user to add and modify geographic constraints interactively through the use of a map. In one example, the user enters a search query, and the search engine determines whether the query is amenable to a geographic constraint. If the query is amenable to a geographic constraint, then the search engine may provide an interactive map through which the user may specify a geographic boundary. The search engine may then uses the geographic boundary as a constraint on the search, and may return documents that relate to the geographic area indicated by the boundary. The user may zoom in or out on the region defined by the boundary, or may move the boundary, thereby interactively focusing, de-focusing, and modifying the search based on geography.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media for utilizing breadcrumb information associated with a Web page to improve a user's search experience on a search engine page and to improve ranking of search results are provided. Breadcrumb information is identified for a plurality of Web pages and is used to create an entity data structure. The entity data structure is used to determine related search items, deep links, and query suggestions on a search engine page. Further, contextual relationships between different breadcrumb elements that are part of a breadcrumb trail associated with a Web page are identified and used to adjust a ranking order of the Web page on a search engine results page.
