Abdulmumin Ladan Olayemi, Mohammed Husni Mubarak, and colleagues thought the same thing but were working from different angles. They used a combination of satellite imagery, camera phones, and local knowledge to track rebel movements across Iraq and Syria during the Arab Spring. Their statistical model caused controversy online and offline when they claimed they had won the Nobel Prize for this work.
