Abstract:
1. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of geotokens for a resource, each geotoken referencing at least one of a plurality of locations computing an initial plurality of geotopicality scores for the resource corresponding to the plurality of locations based on the geotokens that respectively reference the plurality of locations; selecting a set of geotopical locations for the resource from among the plurality of locations by identifying locations having an initial geotopicality score that exceeds a geotopicality threshold; computing a plurality of final geotopicality scores for the resource, wherein each final geotopicality score corresponds to a location in the set of geotopical locations and is based on a ratio of the initial geotopicality score for the location to a sum of the initial geotopicality scores for all of the locations in the set of geotopical locations; and storing data associating the resource with the set of geotopical locations and geotopicality scores corresponding to each location in the set of geotopical locations.
