  10. Hidden Markov Models • States are not observable • Observations are probabilistic functions of state • State transitions are still probabilistic 236607 Visual Recognition Tutorial

  11. Urn and Ball Model • N urns containing colored balls • M distinct colors of balls • Each urn has a (possibly) different distribution of colors • Sequence generation algorithm: • Pick initial urn according to some random process. • Randomly pick a ball from the urn and then replace it • Select another urn according a random selection process asociated with the urn • Repeat steps 2 and 3 236607 Visual Recognition Tutorial

  13. Elements of Hidden Markov Models • N– the number of hidden states • Q– set of states Q={1,2,…,N} • M– the number of symbols • V– set of symbols V ={1,2,…,M} • A– the state-transition probability matrix • B – Observation probability distribution: • p - the initial state distribution: • l – the entire model 236607 Visual Recognition Tutorial

  14. Three Basic Problems • EVALUATION– given observation O=(o1 , o2 ,…,oT ) and model , efficiently compute • Hidden states complicate the evaluation • Given two models l1 and l1, this can be used to choose the better one. • DECODING - given observation O=(o1 , o2 ,…,oT ) and model l find the optimal state sequence q=(q1 , q2 ,…,qT ) . • Optimality criterion has to be decided (e.g. maximum likelihood) • “Explanation” of the data. • LEARNING– given O=(o1 , o2 ,…,oT ), estimate model parameters that maximize 236607 Visual Recognition Tutorial
