Microsoft's Bing service has been on a special mission lately. The company has tasked the search engine with predicting its winner Eurovision this Saturday (May 23).
So, according to the company, we have a winner.
A post on Microsoft's blog states that Italy has an 18% chance of winning the competition, followed by Sweden, Australia, Russia and Albania.
Below is the ranking, as provided by Microsoft Bing:
- Italy - 18%
- Sweden - 16.1%
- Australia - 13.3%
- Russia - 11,4%
- Albania - 11.2%
The technicians Redmond they report that Bing's search engine (essentially where the prediction comes from) will continue to monitor online trends and provide new estimates regularly.
If you are wondering how accurate Bing predictions are, you should be aware that Microsoft has correctly predicted 16 from 19 winners of this year's Oscars. Not only that. He also predicted the outcome of 15 from the 16 World Cup games in Brazil.
Needless to say, Microsoft expects these to be the exact predictions of her contest Eurovision 2015. But we will surely know the Saturday night when the show ends in Vienna.
