Twitter buys Fabula AI, machine learning start-up that can detect network manipulation - Marketing Land

Twitter announced on Monday it has acquired Fabula AI, a London-based machine learning research company. Fabula AI's team will join Twitter and work alongside Sandeep Pandey as part of Twitter's research group focused on natural language processing, reinforcement learning, machine learning ethics, recommendation systems and graph deep learning. Fabula's graph deep learning research is used to detect network manipulation. With this acquisition, Twitter aims to use Fabula's capabilities to better identify bad actors and malicious behavior on the platform, in addition to enhancing its recommendations processes. While the Fabula research team will initially focus on improving the health of conversations happening on Twitter, the company said the team's efforts will expand in the future, aiming to help stop spam and abuse, as well as improve recommendations, the explore tab and the onboarding experience.
