    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining geographic clusters of geographical content may include computation of a first evaluation metric. The first evaluation metric may be descriptive of a distribution of geo-location points within a cluster of a plurality of geographic clusters. A second evaluation metric may also be computed that is descriptive of coherence of the plurality of geographic clusters. Geo-location points of the geographical content may be clustered based, at least in part on the first and second evaluation metrics.

    Abstract: Software for a content-aggregation website generates a first representation of interests for a geographical location. The representation includes a plurality of entities that are derived from a corpus of documents. Each of the plurality of entities is associated with an expected value that is based on engagement signals from users in the geographical location and that is weighted using a sparse-polarity approach to be discriminative with respect to other entities. Each of the ingested articles is represented by the second representation that associates an aboutness score with each of the plurality of entities. The software uses the first representation, a similarity measure, and a second representation to create rankings of a plurality of ingested articles received. Then the software receives a request for access to the content-aggregation service from a new user from the geographical location and serves the new or infrequent user a content stream based on the rankings.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a search query may be obtained. A set of one or more use cases may be determined based, at least in part, upon the search query. A set of one or more search results may be identified based, at least in part, upon the search query. Information that answers the search query for at least one of the set of use cases may be obtained, where the information has been derived from at least a subset of the set of search results. An indication of at least a portion of the information may be provided.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for improving performance of a system including a first computing system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the first computing system receives a request via a network from a client device. The first computing system determines whether a second computing system is available to respond to requests from the first system. The first computing system obtains a response to the request received from the client device based, at least in part, on one or more estimated values maintained by the first computing system according to whether the second computing system is available to respond to requests from the first computing system. The first computing system transmits the response to the client device.
