Device location based on machine learning classifications

Abstract:

A venue system of a client device can submit a location request to a server, which returns multiple venues that are near the client device. The client device can use one or more machine learning schemes (e.g., convolutional neural networks) to determine that the client device is located in one of specific venues of the possible venues. The venue system can further select imagery for presentation based on the venue selection. The presentation may be published as ephemeral message on a network platform.
