Learning Topological Maps with Weak Local Odometric Information
cal maps provide a useful abstraction for robotic navigation and planning. Although stochastic mapscan theoreticallybe learned using the Baum-Welch algorithm,without strong prior ...

Interactive Parts Model: An Application to Recognition of On-line Cursive Script
In this work, we introduce an Interactive Parts (IP) model as an alternative to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). We tested both models on a database of on-line cursive script. We show...

Fast Algorithms for Large-State-Space HMMs with Applications to Web Usage Analysis
In applying Hidden Markov Models to the analysis of massive data streams, it is often necessary to use an artificially reduced set of states; this is due in large part to the fac...

Risk and Information in the Estimation of Hidden Markov Models
In this paper, we consider the relationship between risksensitivity and information. Product estimators are introduced as a generalization of Maximum A Posteriori Probability (MAP...

The Infinite Hidden Markov Model
We show that it is possible to extend hidden Markov models to have a countably infinite number of hidden states. By using the theory of Dirichlet processes we can implicitly integ...
