A trio of researchers at Indiana State University has created an algorithm that crunches data used to describe fashion models—adds Instagram influence and then predicts, reasonably accurately, which among a list of models will become successful. Jaehyuk Park, Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia and Emilio Ferrara have written a paper describing the process they took in creating the algorithm, how they tested it and how accurate it proved to be on a limited number of aspirants—and have uploaded it to the arXiv preprint server.
