Markov Observation Models
Herein, the Hidden Markov Model is expanded to allow for Markov chain observations. In particular, the observations are assumed to be a Markov chain whose one step transition probabilities depend upon the hidden Markov chain. An Expectation-Maximization analog to the Baum-Welch algorithm is developed for this more general model to estimate the transition probabilities for both the hidden state and for the observations as well as to estimate the probabilities for the initial joint hidden-state-observation distribution. A believe state or filter recursion to track the hidden state then arises from the calculations of this Expectation-Maximization algorithm. A dynamic programming analog to the Viterbi algorithm is also developed to estimate the most likely sequence of hidden states given the sequence of observations.

Prediction-Based Markov Violation Scores for Detecting Non-Markovian Observations in Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning algorithms assume that observations satisfy the Markov property, yet real-world sensors frequently violate this assumption through correlated noise, latency, or partial observability. Standard perf…
Reinforcement LearningRegenerativity of Viterbi process for pairwise Markov models
For hidden Markov models one of the most popular estimates of the hidden chain is the Viterbi path -- the path maximising the posterior probability. We consider a more general setting, called the pairwise Markov model (P…
Solving inverse problem of Markov chain with partial observations
The Markov chain is a convenient tool to represent the dynamics of complex systems such as traffic and social systems, where probabilistic transition takes place between internal states. A Markov chain is characterized b…
A Probabilistic Semi-Supervised Approach with Triplet Markov Chains
Triplet Markov chains are general generative models for sequential data which take into account three kinds of random variables: (noisy) observations, their associated discrete labels and latent variables which aim at st…
