Equivalence of Labeled Markov Chains
We consider the equivalence problem for labeled Markov chains (LMCs), where each state is labeled with an observation. Two LMCs are equivalent if every finite sequence of observat...

Adaptive Importance Sampling Technique for Markov Chains Using Stochastic Approximation
For a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain, we develop an adaptive importance sampling scheme to estimate the expected total cost before hitting a set of terminal states. This s...

Extending query translation to cross-language query expansion with markov chain models
Dictionary-based approaches to query translation have been widely used in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) experiments. Using these approaches, translation has been not...

Rate-Distortion via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
We propose an approach to lossy source coding, utilizing ideas from Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The idea is to sample a reconstructio...
