critique

It might be useful to add the “sentence summary” and the “conclusions / future applications” sections, following the wiki page template. The technical and math parts for the second paper are a bit fast to follow for someone outside the field; however, I believe this page tried to make them as easy as possible. The first paper was presented in class. In the CPSC 522 website it is said that papers should be different from the one presented in class. Probably this instruction is not very clear, since it is stated in the course website but not in the wiki page for the assignments. There is a typo in the "Properties of MCL" section: "lies in teh way".

On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means "strongly disagree" and 5 means "strongly agree": • 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): 4 • The formalism (definitions, mathematics) was well chosen to make the page easier to understand: 4 • The abstract is a concise and clear summary: 5 • There were appropriate (original) examples that helped make the topic clear: 3 • There was appropriate use of (pseudo-) code: 5 • It had a good coverage of representations, semantics, inference and learning (as appropriate for the topic): 5 • It is correct: 5 • It was too short for the topic (i.e., 1 means too long, 3 means about right): 3 / 3 • It was an appropriate unit for a page (it shouldn't be split into different topics or merged with another page): 3 • 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: 4 • This page should be highlighted as an exemplary page for others to emulate: 4 If I was grading it out of 20, I would give it: 18.5.
