Background: The Baum-Welch learning procedure for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) provides a powerful tool for tailoring HMM topologies to data for use in knowledge discovery and clus...
The infinite hidden Markov model is a nonparametric extension of the widely used hidden Markov model. Our paper introduces a new inference algorithm for the infinite Hidden Markov...

The standard approach for learning Markov Models with Hidden State uses the Expectation-Maximization framework. While this approach had a significant impact on several practical ap...
In this paper we present a variational Bayes (VB) framework for learning continuous hidden Markov models (CHMMs), and we examine the VB framework within active learning. Unlike a ...
