Course talk:CPSC522/Evaluation of ACO

Cool topic. Grat job writing this page. There is nothing special I can add to your page. It contains proper and detailed content.

• The topic is relevant for the course. 5
• The writing is clear and the English is good. 5
• The page is written at an appropriate level for CPSC 522 students (where the students have diverse backgrounds). 5
• The formalism (definitions, mathematics) was well chosen to make the page easier to understand. 5
• The abstract is a concise and clear summary. 5
• There were appropriate (original) examples that helped make the topic clear. 5
• There was appropriate use of (pseudo-) code. 5
• It is correct. 5
• It was neither too short nor too long for the topic. 5
• It was an appropriate unit for a page (it shouldn't be split into different topics or merged with another page). 5
• It links to appropriate other pages in the wiki. 5
• The references and links to external pages are well chosen. 5
• I would recommend this page to someone who wanted to find out about the topic. 5
• This page should be highlighted as an exemplary page for others to emulate. 5

If I was grading it out of 20, I would give it: 20

Comments:
The hypothesis could be stated a bit clearer. The experiment section says it reports the results but I didn't see any results, unless I missed it. The results should probably show the scalability that is being tested. Other than that, the topic is really interesting, the page is well written and really enjoyable to read, and the implementation is well done. I'm looking forward to the final draft.

I loved the experiment, demo and the writeup. Have no suggestion really. Great work. If at possible, may be put a link to your code or include a snippet. So you do not get a lesser review for the "pseudo code" point in the marking scheme. Oh yeah and also wanted to add: I really understood ACO because of reading your 3 articles on the same. Thank you :-)

Hi Surbhi, Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad we could learn from each other's work :) I'll include some snippets and include links to the source code as you suggested!
