Researchers use WikiLeaks data to predict insurgent attacks: 
Researchers have used documents from WikiLeaks to successfully predict insurgent violence in Afghanistan, according to a new report published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study uses about 77,000 logs from the Afghan War Diary that WikiLeaks released to the public on July 25, 2010 to predict future attacks. These military logs contain data of all insurgent incidences between 2004 and 2009, ranging from "preplanned military activity" to "spontaneous stop-and-search events."
This large sample size is crucial in building an algorithm to predict future events, making the Afghan War Diary a much more valuable resource than limited media reports. The researchers created an algorithm that takes into...
