Harmonising Chorales by Probabilistic Inference
We describe how we used a data set of chorale harmonisations composed by Johann Sebastian Bach to train Hidden Markov Models. Using a probabilistic framework allows us to create a...

Catching the Drift: Probabilistic Content Models, with Applications to Generation and Summarization
We consider the problem of modeling the content structure of texts within a specific domain, in terms of the topics the texts address and the order in which these topics appear. W...

An Empirical Exploration of Hidden Markov Models: From Spelling Recognition to Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov models play a critical role in the modelling and problem solving of important AI tasks such as speech recognition and natural language processing. However, the stude...

Repeated Observation Models
Repetition is an important phenomenon in a variety of domains, such as music, computer programs and architectural drawings. A generative model for these domains should account for...

Collective Inference on Markov Models for Modeling Bird Migration
We investigate a family of inference problems on Markov models, where many sample paths are drawn from a Markov chain and partial information is revealed to an observer who attemp...

Extracting State Transition Dynamics from Multiple Spike Trains with Correlated Poisson HMM
Neural activity is non-stationary and varies across time. Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have been used to track the state transition among quasi-stationary discrete neural states. W...

Inside-Outside Probability Computation for Belief Propagation
In this paper we prove that the well-known correspondence between the forward-backward algorithm for hidden Markov models (HMMs) and belief propagation (BP) applied to HMMs can be...

Incremental Construction of Structured Hidden Markov Models
This paper presents an algorithm for inferring a Structured Hidden Markov Model (S-HMM) from a set of sequences. The S-HMMs are a sub-class of the Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model...
