Where's the "predictive" part? Just visualizing twitter networks isn't actually a prediction.

- rhizome 10y agoSounds like a "prediction" just like the results you get from training your stock picker on historical data.
- pyromine 10y agoAt least you can break your data in to training and testing sets for stock picking, this is just hey guys we found a correlation. 20/20 hindsight is not a prediction.
- thecity2 10y agoExactly. Furthermore, is this company claiming that they can predict electoral college distribution? Because we all well know that Hillary actually won the popular vote. So in fact the popular sentiment was actually on her side. Any analysis claiming that they could predict Trump's victory without even addressing the disparity between popular vote and electoral college is a fail even before it begins.
