Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey discussed how the social network is using machine learning and deep learning to populate its timeline during the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting conference call Monday.

Dorsey said showing Twitter users what’s happening and delivering them the news of the day is the social network’s “singular job,” and he discussed changes to the timeline over the past year-and-a-half:
