Abstract

This lecture overviews Hidden Markov Models that have many applications in Data Analytics and Signal Analysis. It covers the following topics in detail: Markov Chains. Hidden Markov Chains: Viterbi algorithm, Forward-backward algorithm. HMMs applications: Speech recognition, Name-entity recognition, Human Action Recognition, Gesture recognition.
