In that case, It can also be applied to Chinese word segmentation. On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 6:49 AM, Lars Buitinck wrote: > 2011/12/27 Nelle Varoquaux : > > VDHMMs are HMMs in which a state can emit a serie of observations. It > seems > > that the main application to these chains are speech recog

Hi all, Despite this not being directly related to scikit-learn, I hope to benefit from the experience of machine learning developpers: I'm currently studying an article on Variable Duration HMMs (VDHMMs), and I am seeking advices on application data. VDHMMs are HMMs in which a state can emit a s
