A novel algorithm for parameter estimation of Hidden Markov Model inspired by Ant Colony Optimization

HMM is a powerful method to model data in various fields. Estimation of Hidden Markov Model parameters is an NP-Hard problem. We propose a heuristic algorithm called “AntMarkov” to improve the efficiency of estimating HMM parameters. We compared our method with four algorithms. The comparison was co...
