Xin Li - North Bergen NJ, US
Dolapo Falola - New York NY, US

Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707765, 707769

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes providing location factors for first phrases in a collection of phrases, where each location factor for a first phrase is associated with a likelihood that a second phrase of a search query is associated with a location when the first phrase and the second phrase are used in the search query. A search query is received, where the received search query includes a first phrase from the collection of phrases and a second phrase. Whether the second phrase of the received search query refers to a location is determined based, at least in part, on the location factor for the first phrase of the search query.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707724

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically determines if a location is a standalone location, which can be unambiguously identified by a name for the location alone. During operation, the system determines a name score for the location which indicates a popularity of the name for the location. The system also obtains a signature for the location, wherein the signature is a set of combinations of location specifiers, wherein each combination of location specifiers refers to the location. The system then determines a signature score for the location which indicates a popularity of the signature for the location. Finally, the system determines whether the location is a standalone location based on the name score and the signature score.

Abstract:

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a probiotic applicator, having a handle and a head affixed to the handle. The head is configured to scrape the surface of a tongue. The head includes a plurality of orifices for dispensing a fluid onto the surface of the tongue. The applicator includes a reservoir configured to contain a probiotic composition. The reservoir is in fluid communication with the plurality of orifices. An actuator is configured to allow probiotic composition to flow from the reservoir and through the plurality of orifices when actuated. In another aspect, the present disclosure may be embodied as a method for applying a probiotic composition to a tongue. The method includes scraping a surface of the tongue using a probiotic applicator having a scraping head; and applying the probiotic composition to the scraped surface of the tongue by dispensing through orifices of the probiotic applicator.

Abstract:

Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for operating a neural network. In various implementations, the neural network can receive an input image that includes an object to be identified. The neural network can generate a plurality of initial feature maps using a convolution layers, wherein a first initial feature maps is generated using the input image. The neural network can generate an up-sampled feature map using a de-convolution layer that takes an initial feature map as input, where the up-sampled feature map has a same resolution as the previous initial feature map. The neural network can combine the up-sampled feature map and the previous initial feature map, and use the combined feature map to more accurate identify the object.

Abstract:

A phenol alkylation catalyst exhibiting a desirable combination of activity, selectivity, and regenerability is prepared from a catalyst precursor that includes specific amounts of magnesium oxide, copper oxide or a copper oxide precursor, a hydrous magnesium aluminosilicate-containing binder, a pore-former, a lubricant, and water. Methods of forming and regenerating the catalyst, as well as a phenol alkylation method, are described.
