چکیده
We consider the log-likelihood function of hidden Markov models, its derivatives and expectations of these (such as different information functions). We give explicit expressions for these functions and bound them as the size of the chain increases. We apply our bounds to obtain partial second order asymptotics and some qualitative properties of a special model as well as to extend some results of Petrie’s (1969).

Inverse Filtering for Hidden Markov Models
This paper considers a number of related inverse filtering problems for hidden Markov models (HMMs). In particular, given a sequence of state posteriors and the system dynamics; i) estimate the corresponding sequence of observations, ii) estimate the observation likelihoods, and iii) jointly estimate the observation likelihoods and the observation sequence. We show how to avoid a computationall...
متن کاملRanking Intrusion Likelihoods with Exploitability of Network Vulnerabilities in a Large-Scale Attack Model
Network vulnerabilities are common sources of many security threats. Attack models representing chains of all possible vulnerability exploits by attackers can help locate security flaws and pre-determine appropriate preventative measures. To realize the full benefits of attack models, effective analysis is crucial. However, due to the size and complexity of the models, manually pinpointing pote...
متن کاملEfficient likelihood computation in multi-stream HMM based audio-visual speech recognition
Multi-stream hidden Markov models have recently been introduced in the field of automatic speech recognition as an alternative to single-stream modeling of sequences of speech informative features. In particular, they have been very successful in audio-visual speech recognition, where features extracted from video of the speaker’s lips are also available. However, in contrast to single-stream m...
