On Sequentially Normalized Maximum Likelihood Models
The important normalized maximum likelihood (NML) distribution is obtained via a normalization over all sequences of given length. It has two short-comings: the resulting model is usually not a random process, and in many cases, the normalizing integral or sum is hard to compute. In contrast, the recently proposed sequentially normalized maximum likelihood (SNML) models always comprise a random...
متن کاملNormalized Maximum Likelihood Models with Memory for Genomics
This paper will review the recent applications of MDL techniques for genomic sequence analysis presented in detail in [12] and [13]. The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) model [5]-[8] for a class of Markov sources [13] was recently used for the compression of full genomes, obtaining for the human genome the best existing compression results [4]. We have shown that one of the underlying biolo...
متن کاملDiscriminative training of HMM using maximum normalized likelihood algorithm
In this paper, we present the Maximum Normalized Likelihood Estimation (MNLE) algorithm and its application for discriminative training of HMMs for continuous speech recognition. The objective of this algorithm is to maximize the normalized frame likelihood of training data. Instead of gradient descent techniques usually applied for objective function optimization in other discriminative algori...
متن کاملClustering Change Detection Using Normalized Maximum Likelihood Coding
We are concerned with the issue of detecting changes of clustering structures from multivariate time series. From the viewpoint of the minimum description length (MDL) principle, we introduce an algorithm that tracks changes of clustering structures so that the sum of the code-length for data and that for clustering changes is minimum. Here we employ a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as representa...
متن کاملModel selection by normalized maximum likelihood
The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle is an information theoretic approach to inductive inference that originated in algorithmic coding theory. In this approach, data are viewed as codes to be compressed by the model. From this perspective, models are compared on their ability to compress a data set by extracting useful information in the data apart from random noise. The goal of model...
