The Inside-Outside Algorithm

This note describes the inside-outside algorithm. The inside-outside algorithm has very important applications to statistical models based on context-free grammars. In particular, it is used in EM estimation of probabilistic context-free grammars, and it is used in estimation of discriminative models for context-free parsing. As we will see, the inside-outside algorithm has many similarities to...
