Numerical Inference for Hidden M Arkov Models

چکیده
In many situations it is important to be able to propose N independent realizations of a given distribution law. We propose a strategy for making N parallel Monte Carlo Markov Chains (MCMC) interact in order to get an approximation of an independent N -sample of a given target law. In this method each individual chain proposes candidates for all other chains. We prove that the set of interacting chains is itself a MCMC method for the product of N target measures. Compared to independent parallel chains this method is more time consuming, but we show through examples that it possesses many advantages. This approach is applied to a biomass evolution model.

Transform ation and Com bination of Hidden M arkov M odels for Speaker Selection Training
This paper presents a 3-stage adaptation framework based on speaker selection training. First a subset of cohort speakers is selected for test speaker using Gaussian mixture model, which is more reliable given very limited adaptation data. Then cohort models are linearly transformed closer to each test speaker. Finally the adapted model for the test speaker is obtained by combining these transf...

Objective: Soil temperature serves as a key variable in hydrological investigations to determine soil moisture content as well as hydrological balance in watersheds. The ingoing research aims to shed lights on potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to simulate soil temperature at 5-100 cm depths. To satisfy this end, climatic and...

متن کاملA generalized risk approach to path inference based on hidden Markov models
Motivated by the continuing interest in discrete time hidden Markov models (HMMs), this paper reexamines these models using a risk-based approach. Simple modifications of the classical optimization criteria for hidden path inference lead to a new class of hidden path estimators. The estimators are efficiently computed in the usual forward-backward manner and a corresponding dynamic programming ...
