Abstract of the Submitted Paper

We explore the relation between team performance and its topological network characteristics by creating a social network of movie producers and extracting topological features from each team. Then, we employ machine learning techniques to build a movie success predictor based on the extracted features. Results show topological features have predictive power over movie's success and can also be included in other non-topological models to improve accuracy.

The Dataset

The final dataset contains 12,250 movies, whose titles and year are here.
