Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for disambiguating clustered location identifiers. A location identifier can be the name of a business or establishment. Digital assets contain a plurality of metadata that can be used to identify the location or establishment at which digital assets were captured. Techniques can use various types contextual information based on a category of the digital asset for disambiguation. Automatically labelling the digital assets assists a user in organizing and sharing the digital assets with friends and family. Users can search for digital assets by the name of the location where the digital assets were captured.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for presenting a user interface that allows a user to quickly and easily filter and search a digital asset collection. The disclosed techniques allow for rapid recall of desired digital assets, linking assets into logical collections, and an overall improved user experience. The zero keyword/contextual keyword feature presents multimedia content icons and searchable keywords to allow a user to search the digital asset collection simply by tapping on one of these keywords. The top auto completion feature auto-completes suggestions in the search field based on various heuristics to ensure the method produces diverse and relevant results. The next keyword suggestion feature predicts a next search term based on learned properties about the digital asset collection.

Abstract: Techniques for suggesting media assets, the technique including: requesting a set of candidate media assets for a set of user media items based on a knowledge graph metadata network describing the set of user media items; receiving metadata for the set of candidate media assets; determining one or more sets of ranked media assets based on the received metadata; and outputting the determined one or more sets of ranked media assets.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may create a semantic mapping that includes identified features that appear in a particular percentage of assets in a subset of assets of a media library. Also, the computing device may analyze assets of the media library using the semantic mapping to generate semantic scores, which may be used to determine a first tier of assets from the media library that rate highest for semantic score out of all assets. The computing device may present at least one of the first tier assets prominently in a user interface when viewing assets of the media library.

Abstract: A memory management system which can effectively determine whether, when, and to what extent, to modify a graph database based on changes in a paired relational database storing various data like media assets, such as photos and videos. The media assets are associated with data objects, such as moments, events, and people. The memory management system also includes one or more knowledge graph metadata networks (or more simply “knowledge graphs”). The knowledge graph(s) store information which is related to the data stored by the relational databases. The memory management system detects changes in the data and data objects stored by the relational database(s). The memory management system can translate detected changes into modification instructions for the knowledge graph. The memory management system can also determine that it is unnecessary to modify the knowledge graph due to a detected change.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for disambiguating clustered occurrence identifiers. Digital assets contain a plurality of metadata that can be used to identify the occurrence or event during which the digital asset was captured. Techniques can use various types contextual information based on a category of the digital asset for disambiguation. Events can occur at various locations, over a dispersed area and it can be challenging to automatically identify and label the digital assets with the identification of the event. Automatically labelling the digital assets assists user in organizing and sharing the digital assets with friends and family. Users can search for events by event name, performer name, and category.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for face syncing in a distributed computing environment. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, by a processor, media assets that include faces of individuals; detecting, by the processor of a mobile device, the faces on the media assets; generating, by the processor, faceprints for the detected faces; clustering, by the processor, the faceprints into clusters; generating, by the processor, a face crop image for each cluster; and sending, by the processor, the face crop images to a network-based, distributed syncing service.
