Critiques

Critique from Gudbrand:

A really good article. Easy to follow, nice structure, clear content, etc. Well done. No big objections to anything in particular, here are some small things I noticed:

- Perplexity is first used and then defined. Might be OK since it's just a small mention. - LSTM cell equations are misaligned. Also there is some mismatch between super- and subscripts here. - You write the "gradient vanishing problem". I thought it more common to say the "vanishing gradient problem" - Since the words "eventful, eventfully", etc are meant to be meta, perhaps use italics or quotation marks? Not sure what is correct. - Somewhere in the text you write "matrix character embeddings", I think you're missing an "of"? - When you write j \in i, f, o g, it would be nice to see the set of indices wrapped up in curly brackets. - The PTB corpus isn't really defined. Perhaps a sentence about the dataset? - I would like to see just a few more blue links for easy reference of undefined concepts, e.g. edit distance.

One last thing; it isn't really clear that you're presenting two particular papers here. Perhaps be more explicit about this. Sometimes you write "our ..." as if you're actually presenting your own material. Perhaps change wording there.. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your article, I certainly have a better overview of ML for NLP after reading it.

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. - It had a good coverage of representations, semantics, inference and learning (as appropriate for the topic). 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: 19

Will address the above-mentioned issues. Thanks :)
