Study Notes

Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)

Definition

  • A statistical model used to model systems that are assumed to be Markov processes with unobservable states.
  • The model can be used to recover the hidden state sequence from the observable outputs.

Key Components

  • Hidden States (Q): unobservable states that the system can be in
  • Observations (O): observable outputs of the system
  • Transition Probabilities (A): probabilities of transitioning from one hidden state to another
  • Emission Probabilities (B): probabilities of observing a particular output given a hidden state
  • Initial State Probabilities (Ï€): probabilities of starting in a particular hidden state

Types of HMMs

  • Basic HMM: simplest form of HMM, where the hidden states and observations are discrete
  • Continuous HMM: hidden states and observations are continuous
  • Hierarchical HMM: multiple levels of hidden states

Applications

  • Speech Recognition: HMMs are used to model the acoustic patterns of speech and recognize spoken words
  • Natural Language Processing: HMMs are used to model the patterns of language and perform tasks such as part-of-speech tagging
  • Bioinformatics: HMMs are used to model the patterns of DNA and protein sequences

Algorithms

  • Forward-Backward Algorithm: used to compute the posterior probabilities of the hidden states given the observations
  • Viterbi Algorithm: used to find the most likely hidden state sequence given the observations
  • Baum-Welch Algorithm: used to re-estimate the HMM parameters given a set of observations
