Was working on my research with sklearn, but realized that choosing the right evaluation metrics was always a problem to me. If someone asks me ,”does your model performs well?” The first thing in my mind is “accuracy”. Besides the accuracy, there are a lot, depending on your own problem.

Markov Chain Markov Process is a kind of random process. The main idea is given the current state of the system, its future state does not depend on its past states.

Lucky or not: Monte Carlo Method
AlphaGo! http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1 When you play any games, probably you have strategies or experiences. But you could not deny that some times you need luck, which data scientists would say a “random choice”. Monte Carlo Method provides only an approximate optimizer, thus giving you the luck to win a game.
Gibbs Sampling: about Parallelization
About BN Belief Network, or directed acyclic graphical model (DAG). When BN is huge: Exact Inference(variable elimination) Stochastic Inference(MCMC)
Loopy BP: an easy implementation on Pregel Model
Pregel: Message Passing. Focus on the process, no matter each vertex computation. Steps [1]: (this part was referenced from a blog)
MCMC:Gibbs Sampling
In the Important Sampling, all the samples are independent. But in MCMC, samples are dependent.
