The Position
When an event occurs in the real world, it often breaks out on Twitter. Trends provide a pulse of the public conversation to the world. Movements such as #BLM, #MeToo, and Arab spring are happening on Twitter. The Trend and Events Discovery (TED) team builds, scales, and maintains the services that power the discovery of interesting and eventful conversations across the product. We detect and surface what’s happening and contextualize and help users understand what's happening by finding the most interesting content around Events, Trends, Moments, and Live Videos.
What's happening is one of the core usages of Twitter, and millions of people across 100+ countries and multiple languages are informed about their world through our work.
The team is focusing on these major areas:
We are improving the real-time detection of Trends and the stories around them on a large scale.
Ongoing fight of Spam, Bots, Misinformation, and attempts to manipulate the public conversation.
Building data pipelines for Machine Leaning to find the content most relevant to helping people understand what's happening
We are expanding our technology to work across languages, countries, and different topics and communities.
The work includes real-time data processing at scale and building machine learning pipelines around content understanding, spam and abuse detection, clustering of related stories, classification of content by topics, and recommendation systems to personalize results.
