Markov Chains: The Math Behind Modern Prediction Algorithms
Veritasium · Explainer · YouTube title: The Strange Math That Predicts (Almost) Anything
Why it's here
HN recommends it as an excellent, detailed history of Markov chains, often in threads on Markov models and language models.
What it covers
A Veritasium video on how a feud between Russian mathematicians led to Markov chains and the modern prediction algorithms built on them. It covers the history and the math behind them.
