Hello Everybody,
In the temporary silence after hot election and Wikipedia research Journal debates and discussions (I hope at least the second one continues), I would like to use the opportunity to introduce our new manuscript, titled "Early Prediction of Movie Box Office Success based on Wikipedia Activity Big Data" and available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.0970.
There is also a rather fair review of this work at http://www.technologyreview.com/view/507076/now-wikipedia-used-to-predict-mo... .
As always, comments, critics, encouragements, etc, are most welcome (if you are shy, please write me off-list).
Bests, Taha Yasseri
