Quote from: fahdizLong, but worth it. From the abstract: "Applying tone and geographic analysis to a 30–year worldwide news archive, global news tone is found to have forecasted the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, including the removal of Egyptian President Mubarak, predicted the stability of Saudi Arabia (at least through May 2011), estimated Osama Bin Laden's likely hiding place as a 200–kilometer radius in Northern Pakistan that includes Abbotabad, and offered a new look at the world's cultural affiliations."
This data science was done using the supercomputer Nautilus.

It's easy to build a model that will predict past events correctly, but those models often fail when applied to predicting the future.
