Abstract: Systems and methods for searching of information regarding persons or to provide assistance for completion during address input. In one embodiment, a method includes automatically generating profiles for persons identified in messages, such as outgoing emails. Based on how the addresses of the persons are used in outgoing messages, the relevancy scores of the addresses are determined. When a user is searching for information or typing an address, the profiles and the relevancy scores are used to identify and sort search results or suggestions for the completion of the address input.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for detecting dynamic relationship and discovering dynamic events. Data from a first data source is first received. At least one dynamic relation candidate is identified and each dynamic relation candidate involves multiple entities. The at least one dynamic relation candidate is identified based on temporal properties with respect to the entities exhibited in the data from the first data source. Dynamic relations are then extracted by corroborating the temporal properties of the entities involved in the at least one dynamic relation candidate with that of the same entities exhibited in data from a second data source. Then, a dynamic event that gives rise to the dynamic relations among different entities is detected.

Abstract: Geo-referenced and oriented media items may be used to determine a location of one or more points of interest depicted by the media items. A difference between an actual capture location and orientation and a reported location and orientation may be modeled according to one or more distributions, which distribution(s) may be used to assign one or more weights to each location in the world where such weight(s) may be considered to be a likelihood that a point of interest might have been seen by a capturing device. A density map may be acquired by superimposing the derived likelihoods, and a maximum, e.g., local maximum, may be determined to represent a location of a point of interest.

Abstract: A request is received to access a user account. A geolocation of a mobile device registered with the user account is obtained directly from the mobile device. Authentication credentials for the user account are verified for correctness. A mobile device geolocation verification request is transmitted to a cellular data provider. The cellular data provider is equipped to independently determine a true geolocation region of the mobile device for comparison with the geolocation of the mobile device as obtained directly from the mobile device. A verification response to the mobile device geolocation verification request is received from the cellular data provider. The verification response indicates whether or not the geolocation of the mobile device as obtained directly from the mobile device corresponds to the true geolocation region of the mobile device. A response to the access request based on the verification response is transmitted.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for automatically detecting social relationships from consumer image collections. The disclosed systems and methods provide the ability to infer relationships between people thereby creating dynamic social networks from the occurrences of people appearing in digital images. Occurrences of people in pictures can be detected based on known or to be known facial recognition technology. These inferences enable relationship determinations regarding whether the people are family members, friends, acquaintances or merely strangers who happen to be in the same place at the same time. The disclosed detection of such relationships enables the building of intelligent image management systems. Furthermore, based on the detected social relationships, advertisements can be served not solely to a single person, but to multiple people within the scope of the social relationship
