A system and method for predicting the geographic location of an Internet Protocol (IP) address are disclosed. A particular embodiment of the system and method includes receiving a model to predict a geographic coordinates position of a network device given traceroute information corresponding to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the network device; receiving traceroute information corresponding to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of one or more beacons without requiring the geographic location of the one or more beacons associated with the traceroute information; generating, by use of a processor, an output model representing one or more predicted geographic coordinates corresponding to the network device based on the model and the traceroute information; and returning a result including the predicted geographic coordinates of the network device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for generating a model for predicting the characteristics of a user are described. A model template for predicting the one or more characteristics of the selected user is obtained. Training data comprising social relationship information and one or more user characteristics for each of one or more source users is obtained. One or more parameters of the model are determined based on the training data.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for learning a model for predicting characteristics of a user

Methods, systems, and apparatus for predicting the characteristics of a user are described. A model based on a conditional multivariate normal distribution and social relationship information between the selected user and each of one or more other users are obtained. One or more characteristics of the selected user are determined based on the model and the social relationship information. The user characteristics may be determined by adjusting the characteristics of a typical source user according to the model and the social relationship information of the selected user.

A method and apparatus for facilitating answering a query on a database. Example embodiments include: accessing a database tree having a plurality of nodes; receiving a set of input variable values, a non-empty set of output variables, and information indicative of a node in the database tree; determining a traversal cost based on the node and the set of input variable values; determining a lower bound based on the node and the set of input variable values, wherein the lower bound corresponds to an upper-bound probability estimate based on one or more of the plurality of nodes and the set of input variable values; pruning one or more of the plurality of nodes based on the traversal cost, the lower bound, and a pruning bound; and returning a result including a non-empty set of output variable values based on the set of input variable values, the node, the traversal cost, and the lower bound.

Method and apparatus for facilitating answering a query on a database

A method and apparatus for implementing a learning model for facilitating answering a query on a database. Example embodiments include processing logic to: receive access to a database having a plurality of rows; determine for each row in the plurality of rows which of a plurality of child nodes to associate with a row based on the row and current parameters, where the current parameters correspond to parameters of a probability distribution for the plurality of child nodes; determine new parameters for the plurality of child nodes based on associated rows of the plurality of rows; determine whether or not to return a result which indicates the new parameters based on the current parameters, the new parameters, and the plurality of rows; and return a result which indicates the new parameters.
