Unbelievable Explanation!! I have referred to more than 10 videos where basic working flow of this model was explained but I must say that rather I'm sure that this is the most easiest explanation one can ever find on youtube , the way of explanation considering the practical approach was much needed and you did exactly that Thanks a ton man !
Glad I found your videos. Whenever I need some explanation for hard things in Machine Learning, I come to your channel. And you always explain things so simply. Great work man. Keep it up.
To get to the probabilities in the top right of the board, you keep applying P(A,B)=P(A|B).P(B) ... eg. A=C3, B=C2 x C1 x M3 x M2 x M1 ... keep applying P(A,B)=P(A|B).P(B) and you will end up with same probabilities as shown on the whiteboard top right of screen for the viewer. Great video!
Sorry, but I still don't get the calculation at the end. The whole video was explained flawlessly but the calculation was left out. I don't understand. If you can please further help. Thankyou.

This helped me at the best time possible!! I didn't know jack about the math a while ago, but now I have a general grasp of the concept and was able to chart down my own problem as you were explaining the example. Thank you so much!!
Wonderful explanation. I hand calculated a couple of sequences and then coded up a brute force solution for this small problem. This helped a lot! Really appreciate the video!
oooh I get it now! Thank you so much :-) you have an excellent way of explaining things and I didn’t feel like there was 1 word too much (or too little)!
I have 2 questions: 1. The Markov assumption seems VERY strong. How can we guarantee the current state only depends on the previous state? (e.g., person has an outfit for the day of the week instead of based on yesterday) 2. How do we collect the transition/emission probabilities if the state is hidden?
thanks for the video! I've watched two other videos but this one is the easiest to understand HMM and I also like that you added the real-life application NLP example at the end
Dear ritvik, I watch your videos and I like the way you explain. Regarding this HMM, the stationary vector π is [0.625, 0.375] for the states [happy, sad] respectively. You can check the correct stationary vector by multiplying it with the transpose of the Transition probability Matrix, then it should result the same stationary vector as result: import numpy as np B = np.array([[0.7, 0.3], [0.5, 0.5]]) pi_B = np.array([0.625, 0.375]) np.matmul(B.T, pi_B) array([0.625, 0.375])
Great video to get an intuition for HMMs. Two minor notes: 1. There might be an ambiguity of the state sad (S) and the start symbol (S), which might have been resolved by renaming one or the other 2. About the example configuration of hidden states which maximizes P: I think this should be written as a tuple (s, s, h) rather than a set {s, s, h} since the order is relevant? Keep up the good work! :-)
Great video, however I was wondering if the hidden state transitioning probabilities are unknown, is there a way to compute/calculate them based on the observations?
I wish you went through Bayes Nets before coming to HMM. That would make the conditional probabilities so much more easier to understand for HMMs. Great explanation though !! :)
Ritvik, great videos.. I have learnt a lot.. thx. A quick Q re: HMM. How does one create transition matrix for hidden states when in fact you don't know the states.. thx!
I agree Teaching is an art. You have mastered it. Application to real world scenarios are really helpful. Really feel so confident after watching your videos. Question, How did we get the probabilities to start with? are those arbitrary or followed any scientific method to arrive at those numbers?
appreciate that the professor was a 'she' took me by surprise and made me smile :) also great explanation, made me remember that learning is actually fun when you understand what the fuck is going on
At 2:13, the lecturer says, "it's not random" whether the professor wears a red/green/blue shirt. Not true. It is random. It's random but dependent on the happy/sad state of the professor. Sorry to nitpick. I definitely enjoyed this video :)
Really crisp explanation. I just have a query. When you say that the mood on a given day "only" depends on the mood the previous day, this statement seems to come with a caveat. Because if it "only" depended on the previous day's mood, then the Markov chain will be trivial. I think what you mean is that the dependence is a conditional probability on the previous day's mood: meaning, given today's mood, there is a "this percent" chance that tomorrow's mood will be this and a "that percent" chance that tomorrow's mood will be that. "this percent" and "that percent" summing up to 1, obviously. The word "only" somehow conveyed a probability of one. I hope I am able to clearly explain.
Thank you, that was a very clear introduction. They key thing I don't get is where the transition and emission probabilities come from. In a real-world problem, how do you get at those?
In the case of the NLP example with part of speech tagging, the model would need data consisting of sentences that are assigned tags by humans. The problem is that there isn't much of that data lying around.

You gave the clearest explanation of this important topic I've ever seen! Thank you!
I have to say you have an underrated way of providing intuition and making difficult to understand concepts really easy.
Im continually amazed by how well and easy to understand you can teach, you are indeed an amazing teacher
Crystal-clear explanation. Didn't have to pause video or go back at any point of video. Would definitely recommend to my students.
To get to the probabilities in the top right of the board, you keep applying P(A,B)=P(A|B).P(B) ... eg. A=C3, B=C2 x C1 x M3 x M2 x M1 ... keep applying P(A,B)=P(A|B).P(B) and you will end up with same probabilities as shown on the whiteboard top right of screen for the viewer. Great video!
