[edit] Notes

  • HMMs model activity recognition
  • sometimes people do two things at a time! In actuality, they interleave actions (i.e. not really at the same time; Dietterich has an application where actual concurrency is needed).
  • generative model: two HMMs, generate from them, interleave
  • expressed as DBNs: only one HMM is active at any given time
  • state-space is Cartesian product; however, the transition matrix will have lots of zeros, since the inactive HMM can't change state.
