    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The challenge of predict ing meme success has gained at tention\nfrom researchers, largely due to the increased availability of\nsocial media data. Many models focus on st ructural features of\nonline social networks as predictors of meme success. The\ncurrent work takes a different approach, predict ing meme\nsuccess from linguist ic features. We propose predict ive power\nis gained by grounding memes in theories of working memory,\nemot ion, memory, and psycholinguist ics. The linguist ic\ncontent of several memes were analyzed with linguist ic\nanalysis tools. These features were then t rained with a\nmult ilayer supervised backpropagat ion network. A set of new\nmemes was used to test the generalizat ion of the network.\nResults indicated the network was able to generalize the\nlinguist ic features in order to predict success at greater than\nchance levels (80% accuracy). Linguist ic features appear to be\nenough to predict meme t ransmission success without any\ninformat ion about social network st ructure.",
