Abstract

We propose in this paper a novel approach which makes self-organizing maps (SOM) and the Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) cooperate. Our approach (SOS-HMM: Self Organizing Structure of HMM) allows to learn the Hidden Markov Models topology. The main contribution for the proposed approach is to automatically extract the structure of a hidden Markov model without any prior knowledge of the application domain. This model can be represented as a graph of macro-states, where each state represents a micro model. Experimental results illustrate the advantages of the proposed approach compared to a fixed structure approach.
