Experts explain how to deploy deep learning in production

Deep learning is currently a central pillar of the Twitter experience. For most of the social network's history, users saw tweets in their timelines from people they follow in the chronological order in which they were posted. But about a year ago, Twitter changed to a ranked timeline. Similar to how Facebook operates its ranked news feed, this new approach assesses people's tweets for content and surfaces them in a user's timeline based on how strongly the algorithm thinks they will appeal to the user. A lot of deep learning is involved in this process, from natural language processing to image recognition and description.
