The hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) is a generalization of the hidden Markov model (HMM) that models sequences with structure at many length/time scales [FST98]. Unfortuna...
In this paper, we propose a general two-dimensional hidden Markov model (2D-HMM), where dependency of the state transition probability on any state is allowed as long as causality...
Hsu et al. (2009) recently proposed an efficient, accurate spectral learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). In this paper we relax their assumptions and prove a tighte...
The wavelet transform has been used for feature extraction in many applications of pattern recognition. However, in general the learning algorithms are not designed taking into acc...
Dynamic face pose change and noise make it difficult to track multi-view faces in a cluttering environment. In this paper, we propose a graphical model based method, which combin...
