I love you! I listened the lecture of my professor and I couldn't even understand what they were trying to say. I listened to you and things are so clear and easily understandable! I wish you were my professor! Also very entertaining!
I don't think anyone is gonna hit a dislike button on this series of video. Prof Patterson truly explained the abstract concept from an intuitive point of view. A million thanks Prof Patterson!
This is the best series on HMM, not only the Professor explains the concept and working of HMM but most importantly he teaches the core Mathematics of the HMM.
One of the main things that has always confused me with HMM's is the duration T. For some reason, I thought the duration T needed to be fixed, and every sequence needed to be the same duration. Now, I believe I finally understand the principles of the HMM. Thank you!
There is a good chance that I am wrong, but I think that your description of Beta is backwards. You say (e.g., at 7:40 ) it answers "what is the probability that the robot is here knowing what is coming next", but it should be "what is the probability of what is coming next, knowing that I am here". (in any case, thanks a lot! I am trying to learn this in details, and I found the Rabiner paper quite hard to digest, so your videos are super helpful)
Thanks for the great Series. This series helped me to clearly understand the basics of HMMs. Hope you'll make more educative videos! Greets from Germany!
There's a small mistake in the equation for the update of b_j(k), see 22:37. In both, the denominator and the numerator, gamma_t(i) should be gamma_t(j) instead. Other than that, this is a fantastic series!
Your lectures are great, thanks, one note is that, beta is wrongly expressed in your video, and it should be the following: β is the probability of seeing the observations Ot+1 to OT, given that we are in state Si at time t and given the model λ, in other words, what is the probability of getting a specific sequence from a specific model if we know the current state.
@@djp3 In 7:00 u said that beta captures the probability that we would be in a givent state knowing what's going to come in the future. So it's the other way round, you should condition on current state not future observations.
05:45 is this the right interpretation of alpha? Alpha is P(O1...Ot, qt=Si), which is the probability of observing O1..Ot AND being in state Si at timepoint t. But you said it is the probability of being in state Si at timepoint t GIVEN the Observations O1..Ot. That would P(qt=Si | O1...Ot) which is different.
Hi Donald, Thanks for putting this easy to understand HMM series. I wanted to know a little bit more on how to apply it in other fields. How can I connect with you to discuss this.
Excellent content. If I got it right, you state that the EM-algorithm is called gradient ascent or decent. If I got it right, this is not the same. The algorithms result can be in the same local optima, but they are not the same.
if you abstract the two algorithms enough they are the same. But most computer scientists would recognize them as different algorithms that both find local optima.
I noticed this too, it is better to use the alternate formulation for gamma, which is \gamma_t(i) = \alpha_t(i) * \beta_t(i) / \sum_i (\alpha_t(i) * \beta_t(i)). This should give you the correct dimension
there is a matrix of gamma's for each t and each i and a 3-D matrix Xi's for each t,i,j. Each gamma_t is the sum over as set of Xi's at that time. You could also notate gamma as being gamma(t,i) and Xi and Xi(t,i,j)
@@alexmckinney5761 yes. I did it. However I still am getting error in my code. My a matrix goes to 1 on one side and zero on the other side. I am still trying to figure out the problem, but without success till then.
Ahem: "ξ" ("xi") is pronounced either "ksee " or "gzee". You were pronouncing "xi" as if it were Chinese. But... still a great video on HMM and Baum-Welch. Thank you!
Stop searching, this is the best HMM series on youtube
Sure I confirm
Is this the original channel for the series ?
@@juliocardenas4485 yup
Thoroughly explained. The best series I have seen so far about HMM. Thanks
Great to hear!
I love you! I listened the lecture of my professor and I couldn't even understand what they were trying to say. I listened to you and things are so clear and easily understandable! I wish you were my professor! Also very entertaining!
Glad I could help!
whoa, what a thorough explanation. Finally I understood what Xi is! Thank you very much sir.
Glad it was helpful! I wish I had pronounced it correctly.
Very interesting, and the examples and the repetitions made clear the topic I thought I would never understand. Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Best video I've seen so far covering this topic! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You are definitely a life saviour! One can be studying about EM and HMM for a long while, but the need to go back to the basics is always there.
I don't think anyone is gonna hit a dislike button on this series of video. Prof Patterson truly explained the abstract concept from an intuitive point of view. A million thanks Prof Patterson!
You're a lifesaver in these dire times.

One of the best videos on Baum-Welch!!
best lecture series for HMM! Thanks a lot Prof!
Doesn't get much clearer than this, really easy to follow!
This video comes up so far down on the searches but is good (best) xx
Astonishing explanation! Now I can resolve and understand better my homework for Knowledge Representation and Resoning
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks proff
really help me understand HMM on my research. Hope you have a good life
Pay it forward!

My bioinformatics final is in two days and im completely lost, this series is helping a lot, thank you!
Good luck. Hang in there! There's no such thing as "junk" DNA!
I completed the course today and it is still the best free material for learning hmm. Thankyou professor
I'm glad it was helpful. This is a tough concept
Excellent and very intuitive explanations, thanks a lot for this amazing Tutorials!
Thanks for the great Series. This series helped me to clearly understand the basics of HMMs. Hope you'll make more educative videos!

Thank you very much for the wonderful series!
Thanks so much. Very talented in explaining complex things.
Great video, thanks for clearing up the concepts
My pleasure!
14:30 Why is bij (Ot+1) needed?
aij = the probability of moving from state_i to state_j
βt+1(j) = probability of being at state_j at time t+1
WHAT A SERIES! that is a teacher..
thanks!
Amazing series. Very clear explanations!
Very interesting to understand the signal alignment. Thanks
Thankyou so much for sharing Prof !
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the AMAZING playlist!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for a thorough and well-taught video series.
Is it possible to download the slides anywhere?
That's some quality content, great series
Glad you enjoy it!

Yup you are right. THanks for the catch
Echoing what others have said... great videos, very useful. If you feel inclined I'd love to see some on other CS topics.
Thank you so much for your very clear explanation.
Great explained, thank you very very much!

thank you so much for this....this is better than my ivy league tuition
Glad it helped!
Well this was one of the best playlists I have gone through to pass my acads :) lol
You explained it so well.... thank you so much
Very clear explanation, Mr. Ryan Reynolds....XD
Thanks for such a great explanation

I wish Professor could also implement those concepts in python notebook also.
there is a package called hmmlearn in conda-forge that has an implementation.
Amazing series.
Simply brilliant

"... 2 dimensional transition matrix (in principle)..." --> could anyone help with an example where e.g. a 3D transition matrix is used? Thanks.

Thank you for the lectures. The sound at the beginning and the end is really annoying though
Amazing playlist
Thanks
Oh welp there goes 10000 of my brain cells.
Hopefully 10,001 will grow in their place!
Quite the tour de force, thank you!
ha!
You are the goat of teaching bw algorithm🎉🎉🎉
I get through the vedio series and feel rescued.
You helped a lot.. Thank you
One thing I cannot understand. If gamma is the sum of zeta over all j, then how can gamma have the dimension of T. If zeta only goes from 1 to T?
I noticed this too, it is better to use the alternate formulation for gamma, which is \gamma_t(i) = \alpha_t(i) * \beta_t(i) / \sum_i (\alpha_t(i) * \beta_t(i)). This should give you the correct dimension

Yes you are correct. I'm awful with my Greek letters.
Really helpful
Great explanation sir...Thank You
You're most welcome
Thank you! Nice video. (You look a bit like Ryan Reynolds)
You think so? Amazon's automatic celebrity recognizer thinks I look like Shane Smith (at least with my beard)
I was thinking the same for the whole video.
Haha I think it's more than just a bit
greatttttt lecture indeed!
it seems you're mixing up gamma and delta?
Possibly, do you mean the slides are wrong or I am misspeaking? I'm really bad with my Greek letters.
@@djp3 no just delta is viterbi, not gamma, i think you say gamma is viterbi.
Nice! Thank you!
No problem
you're a legend!
the ending :D :D :D
ξ is pronounced as "ksaai"
Yes. I pretty much botched that.
are u Deadpool?
Who's she?
?
I thought it's ryan reynolds
great video. pronounced 'ksi'.
Yes. I totally blew that.
