报告摘要：
We aim to provide a topic-aware multi-channel experience on Twitter to facilitate content creation, discovery and consumption. This requires the ability to organize in real-time a continuous stream of sparse and noisy texts (i.e., tweets) into hundreds of topics with measurable and stringently high precision. I will introduce Jubjub, a high-precision tweet topic modeling system deployed inside Twitter, and the machine learning infrastructure behind it (and many other products).
