Poor Topic Bot is doing its best.

I hope someone at Twitter HQ has resolved to teach the Topic Bot about context in the New Year.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

TopicBotFails has been taking it easy between Xmas and New Years, but the Topic Bot itself never sleeps. Here is a tweet that is not at all about cooking.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

"Technically correct." To be fair, sarcasm is hard.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

We are squarely in a "technically correct" period.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

A bit old, but still hilariously, just patently wrong.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

We’re keying on one word again I see.

[Delip Rao e/σ @deliprao]

What really is going on with Twitter’s topic models?

Technically F1 does mean Formula1.
It’s not ⁦@Twitter⁩ fault if US govt has a visa named after a sport. 🤷‍♂️

TECHNICALLY EXTREMELY CORRECT

[CF Bolz-Tereick @cfbolz]

OMFG Twitter, you got to be kidding me, topic algorithm

/cc @topicbotfails

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

OK being fair to Topic Bot I kinda get why this one's hard. Sort of. Filed under "someone please teach the poor TB about Context."

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

“Brand names”

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

Ooooh, new Fail category identified by @pearmask: brand name prioritization.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

Context.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

I thought Deep Learning could learn context all by itself with magic?

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

Both are delicious?

[Gregory Gay @Greg4cr]

@topicbotfails I have no idea how it got "donuts" from a Capybara eating lettuce.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

Topic Bot really tried here. (H/t @zsusag)

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

@michaelhilton …wat?

[Michael Hilton @michaelhilton]

⁦@topicbotfails⁩

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

I’m developing a theory of the Topic Bot Lifecycle…one phase is where most suggestions are “technically correct”; another is “please Twitter teach the Topic Bot context”; right now, we’re squarely in the middle of a “wat” phase.

[topicbotfails @topicbotfails]

Filed under "wat".

[Dan Williams @thermostat]

@topicbotfails . . . I don't even have a theory here.
