Patent number: 11461342Abstract: A computing system is described that determines, based on user-initiated actions performed by a group of computing devices, an intent of a search using a particular search query received from a computing device. The computing system adjusts, based on the intent, at least a particular portion of search results obtained from the search using the search query by emphasizing information that satisfies the intent. The computing system sends, to the computing device, an indication of the adjusted search results.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Yew Jin Lim, Joseph Linn, Yuling Liang, Carsten Steinebach, Wei Lwun Lu, Dong Hyun Kim, James Kunz, Lauren Koepnick, Min Yang

Patent number: 11138615Abstract: Location history data can be used to identify attributes for a known geographic location of a business listing record for a business. As an example, location history data is received from each of a plurality of client computing devices. For each device, the location history data identifies an arrival and departure times for the known geographic location as well as prior and next visit information. The location history data is used as input into a classifier in order to identify a set of attributes for the geographic location and corresponding likelihood values for each of the attributes of the set of attributes. A subset of the set of attributes is determined such that the attributes describe aspects of the known geographic location based on the likelihood values. This subset is provided to a client computing device in response to a request for information about the geographic location.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Abhimanyu Das, Evgeniy Gabrilovich, Wei Lwun Lu, Shuxin Nie

Patent number: 10452694Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for obtaining a resource, identifying a first portion of text of the resource that is characterized as a question, and a second part of text of the resource that is characterized as an answer to the question, identifying an entity that is referenced by one or more terms of the text that is characterized as the question, a relationship type that is referenced by one or more other terms of the text that is characterized as the question, and an entity that is referenced by the text that is characterized as the answer to the question, and adjusting a score for a relationship of the relationship type for the entity that is referenced by the one or more terms of the text that is characterized as the question and the entity that is referenced by the text that is characterized as the answer to the question.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Wei Lwun Lu, Denis Savenkov, Amarnag Subramanya, Jeffrey Dalton, Evgeniy Gabrilovich, Eugene Agichtein

Publication number: 20180197099Abstract: A computing device is described that determines, based on a state of a user, an initial user-interaction metric for information to be presented to the user and predicts, using a machine-learning model, a plurality of future states of the user. Each future state is associated with a respective user-interaction metric for the information. The device determines whether the initial user-interaction metric for the information is greater than or equal to the respective user-interaction metric of each of the future states and outputs an indication of the information if the initial user-interaction metric is greater than or equal to the respective user-interaction metric of each of the future states. However, if the initial user-interaction metric for the information is less than the respective user-interaction metric of any of the future states, the device refrains from outputting the indication of the information.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Yuling Liang, Carsten Steinebach, Wei Lwun Lu, James Kunz, Yew Jin Lim
