A Spectral Algorithm for Inference in Hidden Semi-Markov Models
Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) are latent variable models which allow latent state persistence and can be viewed as a generalization of the popular hidden Markov models (HMMs). In this paper, we introduce a novel spectral algorithm to perform inference in HSMMs.

A Sensor-Based Scheme for Activity Recognition in Smart Homes using Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence [PDF]
This paper proposes a scheme for activity recognition in sensor based smart homes using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. In this work, opinion owners and their belief masses are constructed from sensors and employed in a single-layered inference ...

Scale-Dependent Attraction of Invasive Raccoons to Bait Sites: Behavioural and Proximity Responses in a Post-Disaster Agricultural Landscape. [PDF]
Using cafeteria‐style bait trials and GPS telemetry, we investigated scale‐dependent responses of invasive raccoons to baiting in a post‐nuclear‐disaster agricultural landscape in Fukushima, Japan. Baiting induced strong short‐term and daily‐scale attraction to trap sites but did not restructure long‐term space use, highlighting the need to balance ...

Structured Inference for Recurrent Hidden Semi-markov Model [PDF]
Segmentation and labeling for high dimensional time series is an important yet challenging task in a number of applications, such as behavior understanding and medical diagnosis. Recent advances to model the nonlinear dynamics in such time series data, has suggested to involve recurrent neural networks into Hidden Markov Models.

biomvRhsmm:Genomic Segmentation with Hidden Semi-Markov Model [PDF]
High-throughput technologies like tiling array and next-generation sequencing (NGS) generate continuous homogeneous segments or signal peaks in the genome that represent transcripts and transcript variants (transcript mapping and quantification), regions of deletion and amplification (copy number variation), or regions characterized by particular ...

A statistical multiresolution approach for face recognition using structural hidden Markov models [PDF]
This paper introduces a novel methodology that combines the multiresolution feature of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with the local interactions of the facial structures expressed through the structural hidden Markov model (SHMM).

Optimal Detection and Error Exponents for Hidden Semi-Markov Models [PDF]
We study detection of random signals corrupted by noise that over time switch their values (states) between a finite set of possible values, where the switchings occur at unknown points in time. We model such signals as hidden semi-Markov signals (HSMS), which generalize classical Markov chains by introducing explicit (possibly non-geometric ...
