Introduction

A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is a temporal probabilistic model in which some "hidden" or unobservable states are described by observable variables that are generated by these hidden states. [1] These hidden states adhere to the Markov property, meaning that the future state is only dependent on the current state. Since one cannot observe the underlying states of a specific model, learning the transition function of this sequence of states involves aligning the HMM to the observable states.[2][3]

Many real-world applications present hidden variables that are only observable through some emitted outcome, e.g. a speech signal of a word is observed rather than the specific phoneme states that are the underlying hidden states. To determine what the sequence of phonemes (states) would be that results in that specific word, the model learns the relation between the observed and unobservable variables.[4]

The technique behind Hidden Markov Models has been shown to be related to Dynamic Time Warping.[5][6]
