User Signal Service (USS) is a centralized online platform that supplies comprehensive data on user actions and behaviors on Twitter. This service stores information on both explicit signals, such as Favorites, Retweets, and replies, and implicit signals like Tweet clicks,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Unified User Action (UUA) is a centralized, real-time stream of user actions on Twitter, consumed by various product, ML, and marketing teams. UUA makes sure all internal teams consume the uniformed user actions data in an accurate and fast way.

You may have heard about this year's Economics Nobel Prize winners - David Card, Josh Angrist (@metrics52) & Guido Imbens.

Their publicly available work has helped us solve tough problems @Twitter, and we're excited to celebrate by sharing how their findings have inspired us.
Understanding causal relationships is core to our work on identifying growth opportunities and measuring impact.

This year's winners laid the foundation for cutting-edge techniques we use to understand where Twitter can improve and how changes affect our platform experience.
To share a few exciting causal inference applications at Twitter:
