Markov Chains for the English Major Turned Search Expert

July 31, 2014

I know there are quite a few experts in enterprise search, content processing, and the near mystical Big Data thing. I wanted to point out that if you want to know more about Markov Chains so you can explain how stuff works in most content centric systems with fancy math work, this is for you. Navigate to Setosa Blog and Markov Chains: A Visual Explanation. This one is pretty good. You can poke around for an IBM presentation on the same subject. IBM includes some examples of the way the numerical recipe can assign a probability to an event that is likely to take place.
