Critique

I think you did well picking an interesting topic here. Overall I liked the page, but I think there are a few areas you might be able to improve. It seemed like the information was a little light on the first paper, and I wonder if there might be some room to expand on the research presented in that paper. In particular, there were a few things mentioned that it might help to expand on a bit, for instance you mention tf.idf but don't explain what that is, or link to any other page that mentions it, so it might be good to discuss that some more for instance. Although the writing was definitely easy to understand, there were a few minor grammar issues, although nothing too difficult to correct with an editing pass before finishing the final version.

On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means "strongly disagree" and 5 means "strongly agree" please rate and comment on the following:

  The topic is relevant for the course. 5
  The writing is clear and the English is good. 4
  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. 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). 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. 3
  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: 16

Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback. According to your suggestions, i have expanded the first paper by putting in some details from the paper itself and also provided the link for tf.idf term. Also, to make things clear i have added an example of text summarization in general.
