We consider the problem of modeling the content structure of texts within a specific domain, in terms of the topics the texts address and the order in which these topics appear. W...
The HMM (Hidden Markov Model) is a probabilistic model of the joint probability of a collection of random variables with both observations and states. The GMM (Gaussian Mixture Mo...
Structured Hidden Markov Models (S-HMM) are a variant of Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models; it provides an abstraction mechanism allowing a high level symbolic description of the k...
We present the use of layered probabilistic representations for modeling human activities, and describe how we use the representation to do sensing, learning, and inference at mul...
We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hid...
