Title: Markov Observation Models
Authors: Michael A. Kouritzin
Abstract summary: The Hidden Markov Model is expanded to allow for Markov chain observations. The observations are assumed to be a Markov chain whose one step transition probabilities depend upon the hidden Markov chain. An Expectation-Maximization algorithm is developed to estimate the transition probabilities for both the hidden state and for the observations.

Abstract: 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.

von Mises Quasi-Processes for Bayesian Circular Regression [57.88921637944379]
We explore a family of expressive and interpretable distributions over circle-valued random functions. The resulting probability model has connections with continuous spin models in statistical physics. For posterior inference, we introduce a new Stratonovich-like augmentation that lends itself to fast Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling.

Complex Event Forecasting with Prediction Suffix Trees: Extended Technical Report [70.7321040534471]
Complex Event Recognition (CER) systems have become popular in the past two decades due to their ability to "instantly" detect patterns on real-time streams of events. There is a lack of methods for forecasting when a pattern might occur before such an occurrence is actually detected by a CER engine. We present a formal framework that attempts to address the issue of Complex Event Forecasting.

Targeted stochastic gradient Markov chain Monte Carlo for hidden Markov models with rare latent states [48.705095800341944]
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for hidden Markov models often rely on the forward-backward sampler. This makes them computationally slow as the length of the time series increases, motivating the development of sub-sampling-based approaches. We propose a targeted sub-sampling approach that over-samples observations corresponding to rare latent states when calculating the gradient of parameters associated with them.
