Abstract: A system and method for generating predictions of geopolitical events is provided. Predictions may be generated by retrieving relevant metadata associated with a content item and assessing a plurality of signals representative of the same. The plurality of signals may be comprised of a contestation signal based on a first parameter extracted from the retrieved metadata, an activity signal based on a second parameter extracted from the retrieved metadata, and a composite signal that is a function of the contestation signal and the activity signal.
