SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This comprehensive introduction to the Markov modeling framework describes the underlying theoretical concepts - covering Hidden Markov models and Markov chain models - and presents the techniques and algorithmic solutions essential to creating real world applications. The actual use of Markov models in their three main application areas - namely speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and biological sequence analysis - is presented with examples of successful systems." "Encompassing both Markov model theory and practise, this book addresses the needs of practitioners and researchers from the field of pattern recognition as well as graduate students with a related major field of study."--BOOK JACKET
