Aspects of subject technology provide systems and methods for simultaneously spell-correcting and completing partial search queries being entered by a user on the user's electronic device. An apparatus such as a computing device may receive partial search queries from the user's electronic device as each character of the partial search query is entered by the user. The apparatus may utilize a machine-learning model to generate suggested queries that include spelling-corrected versions of the received partial query, query completion suggestions for the partial query, and/or spelling-corrected completion suggestions for the partial query.

Correction and completion of search queries

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to identify geographic locations of all social media content items retrieved form a social network in real time, wherein the geographic locations are physical locations from which the social media content items are originated or authored. If the latitude/longitude (geographic) coordinates of the content item are available, the geographic location of the social media content item can be identified using such geographic coordinates. For content items which geographic coordinates are not available, historical archive of content items with high-confidence of geographic locations are utilized to train a location classifier to predict geographic locations of such content items with high accuracy. Finally, the identified locations of the content items are confirmed to be accurate and are presented to a user together with the content items.

Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitates the presentation of list previews among search results are provided. Upon referencing a user query that indicates a user intent to view a list, a search result within a search results page is presented that includes a list preview. Such a list preview includes at least a portion of a list within a webpage that corresponds with the search results.

Presenting list previews among search results

Methods and computer-readable media for associating words or groups of words distilled from content, such as reported speech or an attitude report, of a document to form semantic relationships collectively used to generate a semantic representation of the content are provided. Semantic representations may include elements identified or parsed from a text portion of the content, the elements of which may be associated with other elements that share a semantic relationship, such as an agent, location, or topic relationship. Relationships may also be developed by associating one element that is in relation to, or is about, another element, thereby allowing for rapid and effective comparison of associations found in a semantic representation with associations derived from queries. The semantic relationships may be determined based on semantic information, such as potential meanings and grammatical functions of each element within the text portion of the content.
