I am interested in the idea of modeling and predicting human behavior. Both individuals and groups. I was wondering if anyone here had any interesting facts or could point me to some of the results of this field.

I found these to be interesting. We see some discussion of the use of smartphones to collect data, and use that data to make inferences about an individual's mental state/happiness/etc.
I think the most interesting is the claim to predict "crime hotspots" based on anonymized geo data from mobile devices and demographics information.
What is the current state of computational social studies? Have there been any exciting advances? Is it an active and thriving field? Surely this type of thing would be of interest to advertisers, law enforcement, policy makers, and so on.
