Might be a bit off topic. Is Structured Learning still not a priority for
sklearn?
I would have ideally liked to have put my development code in sklearn for
HMM's (since what i need would goes beyond what is currently implemented in
sklearn). I have started porting Murphy's HMM
toolbox<http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~murphyk/Software/HMM/hmm.html>.

Apart from the standard Discrete and Gaussian HMM, i would be developing
atleast the following:

   1. Factorial HMM
   2. Multiple input/output HMM
   3. Conditional HMM
   4. Semi HMM

Started committing on Github only since a couple of days
here<https://github.com/nipunreddevil/PyHMM>.
Would like to see it one day merge in the main branch! Being a grad student
it's best not to overcommit, but i plan to do major chunk of this
implementation for my thesis work during the summer break.

Just wanted to know if someone is willing to lend a helping hand.
