Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to determining an activity of a user based on sensor readings from sensor(s), and providing, for presentation to the user via a user interface output of a computing device of the user, information that is based on the determined activity. In some implementations, the information may be provided in response to input entered by the user via a user interface input device of the computing device of the user. In some implementations, the input may be a search query and the information may be search results. In some implementations, the input may be a partial query and the information may be query suggestions.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products are provided for responding to search queries having results that identify books. In one aspect, a search query and multiple web pages that satisfy the search query and have a ranked order as responses to the search query are received. A subset of web pages that are each a reference page for a respective book are selected. A web page is a reference page for a book when the web page includes a reference to the book and satisfies a citation criterion for the book. A book score is assigned to each of the books for which there is at least one reference page in the group of highest ranking web pages. The book scores are used to select one or more of the books. A book reference is generated for each of the books and the book references are provided in response to the search query.
Abstract:
Recommendations for a media item associated with a primary entity are based on co-interaction information gathered from other media content items of several different media types that are also associated with the primary entity. Co-interaction information can include, for example, co-click data for websites, co-watch data for videos, or co-purchase data for purchases. The co-interaction data is processed to determine a co-interaction score between primary media items and secondary media items. From the co-interaction scores, secondary entities associated with the secondary media items are determined. A relatedness score is determined for these secondary entities based on the aggregation of the co-interaction scores of the secondary media items they are associated with. The relatedness score indicates a determination of how related one entity is to another. The secondary entities are ranked according to relatedness score in order to determine secondary entities most relevant to the primary entity.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to identifying a plurality of user locations, determining an activity of the user based on the identified user locations, and providing information to the user based on the determined activity of the user. In some implementations, the information may be a user activity suggestion for a user to perform. In some implementations, the information may be provided to the user in response to input from the user. In some implementations, the input may be a search query and the information may be search results. In some implementations, the input may be a partial query and the information may be query suggestions.
