Viterbi Extraction tutorial with Hidden Markov Toolkit
An algorithm used to extract HMM parameters is revisited. Most parts of the extraction process are taken from implemented Hidden Markov Toolkit (HTK) program under name HInit. The algorithm itself shows a few variations compared to another domain of implementations. The HMM model is introduced briefly based on the theory of Discrete Time Markov Chain. We schematically outline the Viterbi method implemented in HTK. Iterative definition of the method which is ready to be implemented in computer programs is reviewed. We also illustrate the method calculation precisely using manual calculation and extensive graphical illustration. The distribution of observation probability used is simply independent Gaussians r.v.s. The purpose of the content is not to justify the performance or accuracy of the method applied in a specific area. This writing merely to describe how the algorithm is performed. The whole content should enlighten the audience the insight of the Viterbi Extraction method used by HTK.

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…
On the accuracy of the Viterbi alignment
In a hidden Markov model, the underlying Markov chain is usually hidden. Often, the maximum likelihood alignment (Viterbi alignment) is used as its estimate. Although having the biggest likelihood, the Viterbi alignment …
