This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
Logical hidden Markov models (LOHMMs) upgrade traditional hidden Markov models to deal with sequences of structured symbols in the form of logical atoms, rather than flat characte...
In this paper, we study the problem of automatically segmenting written text into paragraphs. This is inherently a sequence labeling problem, however, previous approaches ignore t...

We consider the problem of packetizing a variable length coded Markov sequence into fixed length packets, while being protected by variable rate channel code. Given the total tra...
Background: Certain protein families are highly conserved across distantly related organisms and belong to large and functionally diverse superfamilies. The patterns of conservati...
