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

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.

"Technically correct." To be fair, sarcasm is hard.
We are squarely in a "technically correct" period.

A bit old, but still hilariously, just patently wrong.
We’re keying on one word again I see.

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. 🤷‍♂️ Cc ⁦@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."

“Brand names”
Ooooh, new Fail category identified by @pearmask: brand name prioritization.
Under topic “ice cream”, tweet reads “Breyer’s refusal to retire is the kind of slow-motion train wreck that alienated people from electoral politics. It’s not just a disaster, it’s an easily avoidable disaster literally everyone can see coming. And when it finally happens we will be told it’s our fault.”

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

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

Given how commercial kitchens operate, Conflict Resolution actually seems like a great thing to have in a culinary curriculum. What any of that has to do with "Music", though, is a Topic Bot Mystery. Filed under "wat."
Under "Music", Melvin E. Edwards writes "As I've mentioned before, my daughter is in culinary school and she's a few months away from graduation. Last night, she had a class on Conflict Resolution. It never would have entered my mind that this would be a culinary class. I wonder if it's a sign of the times?"
