Critiques and Suggestions
Hi Yu Yan,
Nice work, a very detailed one! Here are my scores and more details below that. please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Scale of 1 to 5, where 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree:
[5] The topic is relevant for the course.
[3] 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).
[4] The formalism (definitions, mathematics) was well chosen to make the page easier to understand.
[3] The abstract is a concise and clear summary.
[3.5] There were appropriate (original) examples that helped make the topic clear.
[4] There was appropriate use of (pseudo-) code.
[5] It had a good coverage of representations, semantics, inference and learning (as appropriate for the topic).
[4.5] It is correct.
[3] It was neither too short nor too long for the topic.
[3] It was an appropriate unit for a page (it shouldn't be split into different topics or merged with another page).
[4] It links to appropriate other pages in the wiki.
[5] The references and links to external pages are well chosen.
[4] I would recommend this page to someone who wanted to find out about the topic.
[3.5] This page should be highlighted as an exemplary page for others to emulate.
Comments:[wikitext]
First of all, I agree with the most comments that Jordon already posted. Some of the pointed issues have been rectified at the time that I am writing this, however, I would like to point out and emphasize few matters:
Format:
It would be great if you apply a consistency of formatting different sections through your page, as it would make reading much easier
- Centralizing mathematical formulas
- Where is figure 4? it seems that you skipped that or you are editing now.
- Emphasizing new terms by making them Bold (already resolved)
- Linking to other pages (Already resolved)
- "Builds on" links (Already resolved)
Language:
It would be a good Idea if you read your page one more time and try to fix some grammatical issues. I would recommend you to install Ginger plugin for Google Chrome (A free proof reading plugin)
Abstract:
I found your abstract a little concise, you can definitely explain the flow of the materials that are presented in a page by briefly mentioning section headings and connecting them together.
Undirected Graphical Models:
I can’t find the g_j in the equation? do you mean f_j ? in the following part: “,g_j are factors"
Inference in graphical models:
I believe that this section should be taken out and is represented as an independent page in Wiki, as the complete explanation would be out of this page’s scope. A brief explanation with a pointer to a dedicated page would let the author to more specifically investigate Inferences in graphical models.
Factor graph and propagation algorithm:
in the Pseudo code section it would be good if you briefly explain the the variables at the beginning as what Murphy and Poole did in their books.
Learning in Graphical Models:
I guess you already rectified the matters pointed out by Jordon as I believe it is now in a perfect size.
Good job,
Yaashaar Hadadian
