A social networking system provides a short, unbiased biographical summary for a user of the social networking system. The short biography includes a few relevant biographical information items selected from the user's profile and is displayed on the profile page. The short biography may be displayed with a set of photographs also selected from the profile for their relevance. Relevance may be based on various information including temporal relevance and relevance to the viewing user. Display of the short biography allows a viewer to easily find current biographical information about the user in an abbreviated format.

In various example embodiments, a system and method for identifying top attributes are presented. Text content from an electronic document describing a product is extracted. A plurality of attributes associated with the product are identified using the extracted text content. A descriptor word proximate to each of the plurality of attributes in the extracted text content is detected. A weight is assigned to each descriptor word proximate to each of the plurality of attributes. The plurality of attributes are ranked based on the weight of the descriptor word proximate to each of the plurality of attributes. A predetermined number of top ranked attributes from the plurality of attributes are caused to be presented. Further, an image associated with each of the top ranked attributes is determined, the image being designated as a visual representation of the corresponding top ranked attribute. The image is caused to be displayed in association with the product on a user interface.

Content creation suggestion techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are implemented to generate suggestions that are usable to guide creative professionals in the creation of content such as images, video, sound, multimedia, and so forth. A variety of techniques are usable to generate suggestions for the content professionals. In a first such example, suggestions are based on shared characteristics of images obtained by users of a content sharing service, e.g., licensed by the users. In another example, suggestions are generated by the content sharing service based on keywords used to locate the images. In a further example, suggestions are generated based on data described communications performed using social network services. In yet another example, recognition of failure of search is used to generate suggestions. A variety of other examples are also contemplated and described herein.

An electronic apparatus for providing a service associated with images is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a memory, and a processor configured to acquire multiple images, acquire information associated with at least one of the multiple images, classify at least some of the multiple images into at least one group based on the information associated with the at least one of the multiple images, and provide a service based on information of the classification of the at least some of the multiple images.

A method for location validation through physical surroundings is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a location of a user device, transmitting to the user device, a request for additional information, receiving the additional information from the user device in response to the request, the second identifier matching the first identifier, comparing the received additional information with stored data pre-associated with the received location, and verifying the received location based at least in part on the comparing. In some embodiments, the request for additional information includes at least one of a request for a first image captured at a first direction, a request for a second image captured at a second direction, a request for a third image captured at a pre-determined tilt angle, a request for a stream of images captured in a pre-determined pattern, or any combination thereof.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using location data to identify and provide services in association with items appearing in captured images. One of the methods includes receiving, from a device, an image and location data representing the device's physical location, determining, based on the location data, that a particular set of one or more locations are within a threshold distance of the device's physical location, accessing, for each of the one or more locations in the particular set, item information that indicates one or more items that are associated with the location, determining, based on the accessed item information, that the image likely shows a particular item that is associated with one or more locations in the particular set, and providing, to the device, instructions for presentation of information about (i) the particular item and (ii) one or more locations in the particular set that are associated with the particular item.

There is provided a transmitting device (100), receiving device (200) and methods of operating the devices. The transmitting and receiving devices (100, 200) each comprise a local database (102, 202) configured to store a plurality of images received in from a central database (302), each with an associated unique identifier code. A control unit (104) of the transmitting device (100) is configured to receive a request for retrieval of a unique identifier code associated with an image stored in its local database (102), retrieve from the local database (102) the unique identifier code associated with the image, and transmit the retrieved unique identifier code to the receiving device (200). A control unit (204) of the receiving device (200) is configured to receive the transmitted unique identifier code and retrieve from its local database (202) a corresponding image associated with a stored unique identifier code that matches the received unique identifier code.
