i was stuck by the derivation starting 3:45. Took me a while to realize that if P(X|Z)=P(X, Z)/P(Z) is used, everthing falls into place - P(Z) will be cancelled out once chain rule is applied. Great series though.
If anyone else tripped over 12:57: The assertion is that p(a, b | c) = p(a | b) p(b | c). Let p(a | b, c) = p(a | b) (Markov assumption) Then p(a, b, c) = p(a, b | c) p(c) = p(a | b, c) p(b | c) p(c) => (cancel p(c) on both sides) p(a, b | c) = p(a | b, c) p(b | c) But by assumption p(a | b, c) = p(a | b). Thus p(a, b | c) = p(a | b) p(b | c) q.e.d.
Great video! I'm in a computational genomics course now and feeling a bit overwhelmed - this definitely helped. Subbing now :-). I'll be coming back to this channel this semester a lot. Do you know where I could find a video of an explanation for how to implement (however simply) this algorithm? That would really seal in all of this information.
Great video! I have a quick question. When you factor \sum p(x_{k+1:n}, z_{k+1} | z_{k}), you write p(x_{k+2:n} | z_{k+1}, z_{k}, x_{k+1}) p(x_{k+1} | z_{k+1}, z_{k}) p(z_{k+1} | z_{k}). Why is there not a p(z_{k}) after this final term? According to Bayes rule, we should write P(A,B) = P(A | B) P(B), so p(z_{k+1}, z_{k}) should factor into p(z_{k+1} | z_{k}) p(z_{k}), right? Thanks!
Hi, I think I can answer that. If you put a p(z_k) in there, you would have (according to the conditional probability formula) \sum p( x_{k+2:n} , z_{k+1}, z_{k}, x_{k+1}) , that is: \sum p(x_{k+1:n}, z_{k+1}, z_{k}) and NOT \sum p(x_{k+1:n}, z_{k+1} | z_{k}). If you multiply the equation on both sides with p(z_k), you can check that it is indeed correct ;-) BTW the formula used there is: P(A,B|C) = P(A|B,C)*P(B|C)
Very useful set of lectures. I think it would be nice to clarify that beta(n) can be set to any arbitrary value. See for instance Rabiber, Proc. IEEE (1989) page 263, after Eq. 25 www.ece.ucsb.edu/Faculty/Rabiner/ece259/Reprints/tutorial%20on%20hmm%20and%20applications.pdf
Remember what Beta_k is--probability you'll see X_k+1:n given z_n. Since x_n+1:n is an empty list, the question then becomes what is more likely to terminate the sequence, and they are all equally likely, thus we set them all to 1.
Hi greate videos. But i think you should use matrices A and B in the final formulas instead of theier probabilites meanings, then you can skip that 'known' point.

Thanks for mentioning this!

Let p(a | b, c) = p(a | b) (Markov assumption)
Then
p(a, b, c) = p(a, b | c) p(c)
= p(a | b, c) p(b | c) p(c)
=> (cancel p(c) on both sides)
p(a, b | c) = p(a | b, c) p(b | c)
But by assumption p(a | b, c) = p(a | b). Thus
p(a, b | c) = p(a | b) p(b | c)
q.e.d.
mind blowing lectures on HMM
Thanks for these videos, they save lot of time.
I wish I had found this video a month back - HMM put me in a lot of bind over the semester
cant find any explanation on why beta(n) = 1

why is beta(n) equal to 1?

Thanks! This was useful! :)
saves my life, god bless you
Thanks for your great video. I'm confusing about why Beta(n) should always be 1. Could you please give more explanation about this?
Actually its arbitrary as long as its not 0 things will work

it is sum for k from 1 to n right?
amazing video!
The notation is extremely confusing ...
Thanks!!
