public class TrainBaumWelch
extends BaseBaumWelch
Baum Welch Learning allows a HMM to be constructed from a series of sequence
observations. This implementation of Baum Welch does not scale and is
susceptible to underflows in long sequences of data.
Baum Welch requires a starting point. You should create a HMM that has a
reasonable guess as to the observation and transition probabilities. If you
can make no such guess, you should consider using KMeans training.
