Ensemble Hidden Markovmodels for Biosignal Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variational Learning theory allows the estimation of posterior probability distributions of model parameters, rather than the parameters themselves. We demonstrate the use of variational learning methods on HiddenMarkov models with different observation models and apply the HMM to a range of biomedical signals, such as EEG, periodic breathing and RR-interval series.

An HMM-based Approach for Date Recognition
This article presents the rst results of a system developed to recognize automatically handwritten dates on Brazilian bankchecks. Considering an omni-writer context, we detail here our recognition module dedicated to process the month eld. This module is based on the combination of holistic and analytical approaches with a limited lexicon. Both approaches operate with a single explicit segmenta...
متن کاملhsmm - An R package for analyzing hidden semi-Markov models
Hidden semi-Markovmodels are a generalization of thewell-knownhiddenMarkovmodel. They allow for a greater flexibility of sojourn time distributions, which implicitly follow a geometric distribution in the case of a hidden Markov chain. The aim of this paper is to describe hsmm, a new software package for the statistical computing environment R. This package allows for the simulation and maximum...
متن کاملEstimation of Coupled Hidden Markov Models with Application to Biosignal Interaction Modelling
Coupled Hidden Markov Models (CHMM) are a new tool which model interactions in state space rather than observation space. Thus theymay reveal coupling where classical tools such as correlation fail. In this paper we derive the maximum likelihood equations for the CHMM parameters using the Expectation Maximisation algorithm. The use of the models is demonstrated in simulated data, as well as in ...
متن کاملImproving Speaker Identification Performance Under the Shouted Talking Condition Using the Second-Order Hidden Markov Models
Speaker identification systems perform well under the neutral talking condition; however, they suffer sharp degradation under the shouted talking condition. In this paper, the second-order hidden Markov models (HMM2s) have been used to improve the recognition performance of isolated-word text-dependent speaker identification systems under the shouted talking condition. Our results show that HMM...
متن کاملAn Approach to Natural Speech Understanding Based on Stochastic Models in a Hierarchical Structure
In this paper, an approach for understanding natural speech by means of two stochastic knowledge bases is presented: Within a given domain, the semantic model generates possible semantic structures, which are semantic representations close to the word level. Corresponding to such a semantic structure, the syntactic model generates word chains using hierarchical Hidden-MarkovModels. Integrated i...
