| Computer program predicts best sellers Three computer scientists at Stony Brook University in New York believe that they have found some rules which might predict when a book will be a best seller. By putting already published manuscripts through the machine, they have managed to get a more than 84 percent accuracy. They claim it will be brilliant for publishes who often kick themselves for failing to spot that books like Harry Potter or Watership Down will do well. They claim it is the first study to correlate between a book's stylistic elements and its popularity and critical acclaim. In a paper published by the Association of Computational Linguistics, Vikas Ganjigunte Ashok, Song Feng, and Yejin Choi said the writing style of books was correlated with its success. http://news.techeye.net/business/com...s-best-sellers |
