HMM profiles for network traffic classification
TL;DR: Using less information than previously thought possible, classification accuracy is demonstrated close to that of other recent techniques, and success is shown in classifying a variety of common network applications as observed from real Internet traffic traces.

Hidden Markov model approach for identifying the modular framework of the protein backbone.
TL;DR: The hidden Markov model was used to identify recurrent short 3D structural building blocks (SBBs) describing protein backbones, independently of any a priori knowledge, and preliminary results on the sequence specificity of SBBs suggest promising perspectives for the prediction of Sbbs or series of S BBs from the protein sequences.

Bag-of-Features HMMs for Segmentation-Free Word Spotting in Handwritten Documents
TL;DR: Bag-of-Features HMMs are proposed to use in a patch-based segmentation-free framework that are estimated by a single sample that outperform state- of-the-art results on the George Washington dataset.

Exact adaptive filters for Markov chains observed in Gaussian noise
TL;DR: By introducing a new measure exact, unnormalized, recursive estimates and smoothers are obtained for the state of the Markov chain, for the number of jumps from one state to another,For the occupation time in any state, and for processes related to the observation parameters.

System and method for processing sentence based queries
TL;DR: In this paper, sentence-based queries from a user are analyzed to determine appropriate answers from an electronic database; text in the queries is dissected to identify different phrases; the phrases in turn are matched against candidate phrases to determine best matching answers responsive to the user's question.

The Gamma Function
Willi Freeden,Martin Gutting +1 more
TL;DR: The Gamma function as discussed by the authors is a generalized factorial function that can be used to estimate the probability distribution of a probability distribution, and it has been used in many applications, e.g., as part of probability distributions.
