Abstract : In this study, we propose a method called sequence breaking framework to search high local maximum of the likelihood by providing starting values based on the observations for the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, for Hidden semi-Markov model parameter estimation. The method is shown to be efficient on several datasets with multiple categorical sequences.
Keywords : multiple categorical sequences Hidden semi-Markov models choosing starting values for the EM algorithm
