US Patent 10068178 Methods and system for associating locations with annotations

Methods, systems and computer program products for associating geographical locations with annotations corresponding to content. In one method, a language model is developed. The language model is developed from the location information and the one or more annotations associated with content uploaded by users. The language model is based on the probabilistic distribution of locations over one or more annotations. Further, when a user provides one or more annotations, the system and the method may use the language model to identify one or more locations associated with the one or more annotations provided by the user. The language model predicts one or more geographical locations based on the probabilistic distribution of locations over the annotations.
