Abstract: A modular search object framework can provide monetization of entity based content. Such a framework can include circuitry configured to manually or automatically link monetized search terms with entities, so that the entities can be monetized without additional bids on the entities. Once the framework generates such links, advertisers may continue to bid on search terms, and create new links or change initial links. Also, through the framework advertisers may bid on an entity that can encompass a set of associated search terms. For example, instead of bidding on a great number of search terms, an advertiser can bid on a few entities that include at least a majority of the associated search terms. With such functionality, the workload of the advertiser can be greatly reduced.

Abstract translation: 模块化搜索对象框架可以提供基于实体的内容的获利。 这样的框架可以包括被配置为手动或自动地将获利的搜索词链接到实体的电路，使得可以通过实体来获得货币化实体，而不需要对实体进行额外的出价。 一旦该框架生成此类链接，广告客户可能会继续针对搜索字词出价，并创建新链接或更改初始链接。 此外，通过框架，广告主可以对可以包含一组关联搜索词的实体进行出价。 例如，广告客户可以针对包含至少大部分关联搜索字词的少数实体出价，而不是大量搜索字词的出价。 通过这样的功能，可以大大减少广告商的工作量。

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a projection-aware compression, which may be used on image data such as, for example, spherical image data. The compression may be considered to be non-uniform in a sense that the compression need not be uniformly applied, but may be applied to image data as a function of latitude information associated with the image data.

Abstract translation: 本文公开了一种投影感知压缩，其可以用于诸如球面图像数据的图像数据。 在压缩不需要均匀地施加的意义上，压缩可以被认为是不均匀的，但可以作为与图像数据相关联的纬度信息的函数应用于图像数据。

Abstract: Scroll input received with regard to content within a content layer (e.g., email content displayed through an email inbox content layer of an email application) may be used as a trigger to reveal an advertisement layer or portion thereof, where the advertisement layer is under the content layer. For example, as a user scrolls towards the end of the email content, display of the email inbox content layer may be contracted and display of an advertisement layer may be expanded. In this way, one or more advertisement layers, comprising advertisements, may be displayed based upon scroll input. In an example, an advertisement may be revealed (e.g., gradually as the user scrolls towards the end of content) such that the advertisement does not occlude or visually block the content.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing packages to applications is disclosed. An application that is executable on a plurality of device platforms is generated. The application is deployed to a client device. A package list received from the client device is analyzed to determine package dependencies for packages on the package list. The packages on the package list and dependent packages are provided based on the package dependencies to the client device. The packages and dependent packages may be installed by the client device to ensure that the application is executable based on characteristics of the client device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a configuration associated with an application may be ascertained, where the configuration indicates a number of instances and a first instance type. Requests associated with the application may be routed among two or more sets of instances, where each of the two or more sets of instances have a different, corresponding instance type of two or more instance types including the first instance type. Metrics associated with the routing of requests to each of the two or more sets of instances may be obtained. The metrics may be analyzed to identify an optimal instance type for the application. Further requests associated with the application may be routed to a set of the number of instances having the optimal instance type.

Abstract: Users consume a wide variety of content from various sources, such as videos accessible through websites. As provided herein, content recommendations that are contextually and/or semantically relevant to current content consumed by a user may be identified and provided to the user. For example, metadata for a video being watched by the user may be identified (e.g., terms extracted from a description, user reviews, a category, and/or other information). The metadata may be used to identify content recommendations based upon the metadata corresponding to terms grouped into a set of refined topic groupings of a graph comprising terms and relationships between terms extracted from a content corpus. The metadata may be matched to relevant terms within the set of refined topic groupings, and content recommendations comprising content corresponding to the relevant terms may be suggested to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for selectively delivering shared information. The disclosed systems and methods enable a sending user to decide what context of information is to be shared, in that a sending user can determine when and where information is shared. This enables increased social engagement towards relevant information. Additionally, this enables a vast opportunity for commercial opportunities, whereby advertisements can be served contingent upon a consumer's context, and/or only when the product or service offered to the consumer is relevant.
