Future prediction has been one of the most interesting task since the dawn of science and engineering. Till now future prediction is mainly based on human expertise, sophisticated guesses and intuitions but a new research has opened some more ways that can lead to a better outcome.
Eric Horvitz, co-director of Microsoft Research along with Kira Radinsky, a PhD researcher from Technion-Israel Institute has published a paper describing their attempt in the direction of developing a better tool for future prediction. They have used over 20 years of New York Times articles dated from 1986 to 2007 along with various web resources. The researchers designed a chain of events, that contains events consisting of inter-relevant words. For example, to predict future deaths, they considers dead, deaths and similar words.

Based of the chain of events, the researchers were to establish a likelihood connection between different events resulting in a better prediction of future events. According to Horvitz the project will continue and he would like to develop a more refined version that could assist government agencies.
