Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques to classify or detect the intent of content written in a language for which a classifier does not exist. These techniques involve building a code-switching corpus via machine translation, generating a universal embedding for words in the code-switching corpus, training a classifier on the universal embeddings to generate an embedding mapping/table; accessing new content written in a language for which a specific classifier may not exist, and mapping entries in the embedding mapping/table to the universal embeddings. Using these techniques, a classifier can be applied to the universal embedding without needing to be trained on a particular language. Exemplary embodiments may be applied to recognize similarities in two content items, make recommendations, find similar documents, perform deduplication, and perform topic tagging for stories in foreign languages.

Abstract: The technology relates to generating a wireless network access point model for determining locations within an area. In one example, a plurality of scan vectors, each scan vector representing a set of signal strengths for a set of wireless network access point identifiers and being associated with a location within the area at which a mobile device moving through the area measured the set of signal strengths are received. A set of clusters is generated by iterating through a split phase until the number of clusters in the set of clusters equals a maximum number of clusters or there are no bad scan vectors identified. A bad scan vector may include a vector having a vector difference from a center of a cluster to which that vector is assigned is less than a minimum similarity value. The set of cluster is then used to generate the model of the area.
