I built a system harvesting large-scale digital histories, social and real-time media, augments it with human knowledge mined from the web to afford real-time estimations of likelihoods of future events. My algorithms have accurately predicted the first Cholera outbreak reported in Cuba in 50 years, riots, genocides and more with 70%+ accuracy. My work has ignited a new field of temporal information retrieval and led to multiple advances in the field.
