Hidden Markov Models

Finite learnable stochastic models often used in MACHINE LEARNING consisting of two processes: a MARKOV CHAIN and an event observed and analyzed in a state unknown or hidden to the observer. Hidden Markov Models are often used in BIOINFORMATICS, time series analysis and speech and handwriting recognition.

Abstract

Finite learnable stochastic models often used in MACHINE LEARNING consisting of two processes: a MARKOV CHAIN and an event observed and analyzed in a state unknown or hidden to the observer. Hidden Markov Models are often used in BIOINFORMATICS, time series analysis and speech and handwriting recognition.
