This paper describes a technique for learning both the number of states and the topologyof Hidden Markov Models from examples. The inductionprocess starts with the most specific m...
Abstract In many statistical problems, maximum likelihood estimation by an EM or MM algorithm suffers from excruciatingly slow convergence. This tendency limits the application of ...
In spite of the initialization problem, the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm is widely used for estimating the parameters in several data mining related tasks. Most popular ...

The Predictive Linear Gaussian model (or PLG) improves upon traditional linear dynamical system models by using a predictive representation of state, which makes consistent parame...
Background: Recent advances in molecular biology techniques provide an opportunity for developing detailed mathematical models of biological processes. An iterative scheme is intr...
