Abstract

This paper proposes a novel estimation algorithm for the parameters of an HMM as to best account for the observed data. In this model, in addition to the observation sequence, we have partial and noisy access to the hidden state sequence as side information. This access can be seen as “partial labeling” of the hidden states. Furthermore, we model possible mislabeling in the side information in a joint framework and derive the corresponding EM updates accordingly. In our simulations, we observe that using this side information, we considerably improve the state recognition performance, up to 70%, with respect to the “achievable margin” defined by the baseline algorithms. Moreover, our algorithm is shown to be robust to different training conditions.
