Abstract

The present disclosure relates to inferring a time zone of a node profile using electronic activities. A method can include accessing a plurality of electronic activities transmitted or received via a plurality of electronic accounts. The method can include identifying, for a node profile, a set of electronic activities sent from or received by an electronic account of the plurality of electronic accounts linked to the node profile within a time period. The method can include identifying, for each electronic activity of the set of electronic activities, a timestamp at which the electronic activity was sent or received. The method can include generating, for each of a plurality of time intervals within the time period, a temporal distribution of electronic activity based on respective timestamps of each electronic activity. The method can include determining a time zone of the node profile based on the temporal distribution.
