Have you ever been writing an email and wonder how the text prediction that populates happens and how the words are what you were going to type? These word suggestions are all due to the ability for your email to utilize Markov Chains within the email system. Come to my MAT 480 talk on Wednesday March 26th where I will be going into detail on what Markov chains are, how they were invented, where they are integrated into society, as well as some examples demonstrating Markov chains in action, my talk will leave you realizing the high degree that Markov chains are integrated into things that you use in your daily life.

Taylor, I am very excited for your talk! I use the suggestions that pop up on my emails all the time, so I can’t wait to see how math, and specifically Markov chains, are used in the development of these suggestions!
Hi Taylor, I am very excited for your talk. I can’t wait to hear about how my gmail suggests what I’m going to say. I’m also excited to hear about the math behind it operates and exists. I got a little sneak peak from Dr. Fox office about eigenvalues and Eigenvectors so I’m excited to see how that is incorporated.
This seems like such a cool topic! It is so interesting to think of how text is automatically suggested in emails. I am looking forward to your explanation of Markov Chains and how they work! I had not realized that these were behind text suggestions, so this seems very relevant to learn about!
I am excited to learn what Markov chains are, especially with how much AI has been integrated into daily life.
Taylor I am very excitied to hear about your talk on Markov Chains. I have taken advantage of text predictions but I have never wondered what was happening behind the scenes until your teaser. I am looking forward to listening and learning a lot from your talk!
It was fascinating to see the ways in which previous probabilities relate to their following iterations. There is always so much to get in to with 480 talks, but your level of detail was so informative.
