Computer algorithm predicts who will die next in Game of Thrones

With the next series of Game of Thrones set to hit our screens this month anxious fans may be wondering which one of their favourite characters is next on the hit list. The first five of the series have not been an easy watch, with the writers killing off key characters just when their luck starts to change and as audiences warmed to them. But researchers have developed a computer algorithm aimed at predicting the next character to die in the hit series. Students in Germany have developed a GoT-related computer algorithm which uses available data from the internet to predict the next character to die. By trawling the internet for data and clues, a team of computer scientists have created a model which crunches the numbers to work out which characters are most likely to die in the upcoming sixth series.
