  • Publication number: 20230206034
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a place-entities graph comprising a plurality of place-entity nodes, in which each place-entity node representing a place-entity corresponding to a particular geographic location, and identifying a place-entity cluster within the place-entities graph. The place-entity cluster comprises a plurality of place-entity nodes corresponding to a plurality of place-entities corresponding to the same geographic location. The method includes accessing embeddings representing the plurality of place-entities corresponding to the place-entity cluster. Each embedding is a point in a d-dimensional embedding space. The method includes calculating, using a machine-learning model, a cluster-quality score of the place-entity cluster based on the embeddings. The cluster-quality score represents a probability that the place-entities correspond to a valid geographic location.

  • Patent number: 11604968
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system associated with a user of an online social network, data indicating that the user is located at a first geographic location at a first time; accessing a first embedding representing a first place-entity corresponding to the first geographic location; accessing multiple second embeddings representing multiple respective second place-entities each corresponding to a second geographic location; calculating, a similarity metric between the embedding representing the first place-entity and each of the embeddings representing the second place-entities; ranking each of the second place-entities based on their calculated similarity metrics; and sending, to the client system, information associated with one or more second geographic locations corresponding to one or more second place-entities having a ranking greater than a threshold ranking.

  • Publication number: 20220083745
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus and an electronic device for determining a word representation vector, and a computer-readable storage medium, which belong to a field of processing natural languages. The method includes obtaining a set of glyph units of a text; obtaining a context vector of the text based on the set of glyph units; and predicting next word of the text based on the context vector. The method for determining the word representation vector of the present disclosure can effectively obtain a corresponding set of glyph units even for hieroglyphics in which hyperbolic characters are prone to appear or languages evolved from the hieroglyphics, thereby improving an accuracy of determining the word representation vector.
