Forward–backward algorithm: Products, Performance & Example

The forward–backward algorithm is an inference algorithm for hidden Markov models which computes the posterior marginals of all hidden state variables given a sequence of observations/emissions o 1 : T := o 1 , … , o T {\displaystyle o_{1:T}:=o_{1},\dots ,o_{T}} , i.e. it computes, for all hidden state variables X t ∈ { X 1 , … , X T } {\displaystyle…
