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
