OREANDA-NEWS Italian scientists have introduced an artificial intelligence that predicts the success of films with viewers. The authors of the algorithm demonstrated the result by calculating the popularity of the film only by written annotations.

Specialists at the Storytelling Workshop 2019 have developed several neural networks that, based on a written summary, give out the likelihood of a movie news success. Testing was carried out using plot plans of more than 40 thousand films from around the world.

It was found that the audience does not care how the films begin and end, but it is important how often the mood of the plot itself changes. Modification of the algorithm will allow to determine box office films only with the help of a text description of the plot.
