Abstract

Recent studies provide convincing evidence that data on online information gathering, alongside massive real-world datasets, can give new insights into real-world collective decision making and can even anticipate future actions. We argue that Bentley et al.'s timely account should consider the full breadth, and, above all, the predictive power of big data.

摘要

最近的研究提供了令人信服的证据，表明在线信息收集数据与大规模的真实世界数据集结合使用，可以为真实世界的集体决策提供新的见解，甚至可以预测未来的行动。我们认为，本特利等人的及时叙述应该考虑到大数据的全部广度，尤其是其预测能力。
