    Abstract: Among other things, one or more client devices, techniques, and/or systems are provided for presenting weather conditions. A grid size of a first geohash cell (e.g., space subdivided into a grid), corresponding to a location of a user, is determined based upon supplemental factors (e.g., population density, elevation, topography, etc.). A first weather station, located in the first geohash cell, and a second weather station, located in a second geohash cell neighboring the first geohash cell, are identified. A first distance from the first weather station to the location is determined, and a second distance from the second weather station to the location is determined. Responsive to the first distance being less than the second distance, information from the first weather station is presented to the user. Responsive to the second distance being less than the first distance, information from the second weather station is presented to the user.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for identifying a locations of application users based on originating address. Techniques to generate a set of address-to-location mappings include a system configured to receive information about a plurality of location-known requests that originated from an address, wherein the information indicates a plurality of locations for the originating address. The system is further configured to identify a geographical area based, at least in part, on the plurality of distinct locations; map the geographical area to a corresponding geographical locality; and associate the address to the geographical area and the corresponding geographical locality generating an address-to-location mapping. Address-to-location mappings may be further clustered into address-range-to-location mappings and stored as a data pack. Using these techniques, location information may be determined for a received location-unknown request that originated from a particular address.

    Abstract: The present teaching relates to user authentication based on a visual representation of a location. In one example, a request is received for authenticating a user with respect to a user identity. A location of the user is determined. A candidate visual representation of the location is obtained from the user. One or more visual representations are retrieved from a database. The retrieved one or more visual representations are associated with the user identity in the database. Whether the user is authenticated is determined based on the candidate visual representation and the retrieved one or more visual representations.

    Abstract: The present teaching relates to methods, systems, and programming for providing advertisements based on semantic representations. In one example, a request is obtained for advertisement. The request incorporates a query. The query is parsed to generate a semantic representation of the query. A plurality of advertisements indexed by their respective semantic representations is obtained. Among the plurality of advertisements, one or more advertisements are determined whose semantic representations match the semantic representation of the query. The one or more advertisements are provided as a response to the request.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a dense graph are described. One of the methods includes receiving a graph and computing a threshold to apply to the graph. The method further includes determining whether the graph includes a first set of at least one node, determining whether a second set of at least one node from the first set meets the threshold, and removing the at least one node of the second set concurrently from the graph upon determining that the at least one node of the second set meets the threshold. The operation of removing is performed to generate an updated graph. The method includes determining whether a density of the updated graph is greater than a density of the graph and replacing the graph within the updated graph upon determining that the density of the updated graph is greater than the density of the density of the graph.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automated personalized message composition system, method and architecture. A composition style of a user is learned for each of a number of categories, such that each category has a corresponding composition style. The user's composition style determined for a given category can be used to personalize a non-personalized message for the user. A personalized message including elements of the user's composition style. The composition style elements from the user's composition style replacing a number of non-personalized elements in the non-personalized message.
