Monte Carlo Hidden Markov Models: Learning Non-Parametric Models of Partially Observable Stochastic Processes
We present a learning algorithm for non-parametric hidden Markov models with continuous state and observation spaces. All necessary probability densities are approximated using sa...

Approximate forward-backward algorithm for a switching linear Gaussian model
Motivated by the application of seismic inversion in the petroleum industry we consider a hidden Markov model with two hidden layers. The bottom layer is a Markov chain and given ...

Quantum simulation - rare event simulation by means of cloning, thinning and distortion
A method of rare event simulation, termed here quantum simulation, and known also (with some variations) as population Monte Carlo, and Sequential Markov Chain simulation, is appli...

Approximate inference for first-order probabilistic languages
A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...

Computational methods for complex stochastic systems: a review of some alternatives to MCMC
We consider analysis of complex stochastic models based upon partial information. MCMC and reversible jump MCMC are often the methods of choice for such problems, but in some situ...
