ABSTRACT:
A pattern recognition procedure forms a hierarchical statistical model using a hidden Markov model and a coupled hidden Markov model. The hierarchical statistical model supports a pa 20 layer having multiple supernodes and a child layer having multiple nodes associated with each supernode of the parent layer. After training, the hierarchical statistical model uses observation vectors extracted from a data set to find a substantially optimal state sequence segmentation.
