Forward Algorithm Clearly Explained | Hidden Markov Model | Part - 6

[@NormalizedNerd]

Correction: At 7:43, the last red term should be P(Y_0 | X_0) At 9:48, in the 2nd equation, it should be P(Y^1|X_i) instead of P(Y^0|X_i) in the 3rd equation, it should be alpha_t(X_i) instead of alpha_t-1(X_i)

[@gcgbarbosa]

I think you could put those on the videos (subtitles or something). It is the best explanation I've seen about the topic!

[@moetasembellakhalifa3452]

Thank's for the video and the correction in this comment. I think there is another mistake in the first equation at 9:48, if I understood the equation and symbols correctly. Namely at the end of equation 1 P( Y^t|X_i), shouldn't it be P( Y^t-1|X_i)? Or am I mistaken? If there is no mistake could you please explain what Y^t means. I'd really appreciate your help.

[@nowshintabassum933]

please pin this comment to the top or add these corrections to the description box. almost couldn't find this correction!! also, (please correct me if i'm wrong), here Y^1 = Y_0, Y^2 = Y_0, and Y^3 = Y^1, right?

[@raksikopo9070]

​​@@moetasembellakhalifa3452 from what i understood , a_t(X_i) gives the conditional probability of the t-th term of the sequence X being X_i given that the t-th term of the observed sequence Y, Y^t, is (whatever was observed) in this case Y_1. For example a_2(X_i) gives the probability the second term of the sequence X denoted by X^2 to be X_i given that the second term of Y denoted by Y^2 is (in this case) observed as Y_0. So a_2(X_i)=(prior probability of X^2=X_i) times the probability of observing Y^2=Y_0 given that X^2=X_i. The prior probability of X^2=X_i is the probability of the first term being in either X_0 and(*) transitioning to second term X_i or(+) the first term being X_1 and(*) transitioning to second term X_i, so it is a_1(X_0)*P(X_i|X_0)+a_1(X_1)*P(X_i|X_1). Therefore a_2(X_i) = [ a_1(X_0)*P(X_i|X_0)+a_1(X_1)*P(X_i|X_1) ]*P(Y^2=Y_0|X_i). So the recursive formula becomes a_t(X_i) = sum[ a_(t-1)(X_j) *P(X_i |X_j)]*P(Y^t |X_i).

I've wanted to learn about Markov chains for a really long time and I've finally gotten around to teaching myself. Cannot express how useful these videos are! Thank you!

[@NormalizedNerd]

It's my pleasure! 😊

[@trifleodd]

One of the clearest explanations of Forward Algorithm I have seen on the internet, and I include paid Udemy courses in that. Thanks!

[@JeffLuntGames]

One of my favorite things when learning a new concept is to go over the basics, then write code myself to re-implement it as a way to find out if I really understood the concepts. Your videos do a great job of explaining the concepts, and provide excellent supporting material for me to double-check my code. While this is a lot of work vs. just using existing code libraries I feel that it leads to a deeper intuitive grasp of the concept after the fact. Anyhow, great job on the video content to help people build an intuitive understanding of this concept!

Excellent explanation. I like the states/transition you used - they cover a lot of the different ways MCs can be quirky.

[@NormalizedNerd]

Thanks man! :D Yeah, they really are.

[@sugashtm1197]

Such an amazing way of teaching!! Thank you very much!! Can u please make the videos on backward and viterbi algorithms too??

[@amjadhossain7114]

Hey @normalized Nard, Could you also make videos about the Backward Algorithm and the difference between these two. Also about Filtering, Probability and Smoothing? That would be very much appreciatable!!

[@niklasroberts1085]

In this series you have done fantastic job balancing an intuitive understanding of the concepts with the formal mathematics that allow for the concept to be extended further. Thank you so much, these have been incredibly helpful in learning about HMM!

[@jayshah5566]

Thanks for this video series. Can you make videos on the backward algorithm, Viterbi algorithm, and Baum-Welch algorithm? It would be really helpful. Thanks again.

[@NormalizedNerd]

I'll try to make videos on these topics :)

[@petesantago5977]

@@NormalizedNerd That would be great.

[@victormiene520]

Very good explanation, thank you. On a side note, I wish we could use more descriptive notation, like P(R) for the probability of rain. It would make things much clearer.

[@karannchew2534]

Notes for future revision. Given a HMM, we can find the probability of a specific sequence of observation/emission states. How: Add all the probabilities (joint and conditonal) for each possible hidden state sequence that create the emission sequence. For 3 sequences and 2 hidden states, there are 2³ possible sequences (that generate the emission sequence), and hence 2³ probabilities. No. of probabilitie = N^T, N = no. of hidden states T = length of sequence Each probability = P(HidStateSeq1).P(ObsStateSeq1|HidStateSeq1)* P(HidStateSeq2|HidStateSeq1).P(ObsState2|HidState2)* P(HidStateSeq3|HidStateSeq2).P(ObsState3|HidState3) =P(HidSeq1).P(ObsSeq1 | HidSeq1) *P(HidSeq2 | HidSeq1).P(Obs2 | HidSeq2) *P(HidSeq3 | HidSeq2).P(Obs3 | HidSeq3) *... *P(HidSeqN | HidSeqN-1).P(ObsN | HidSeqN)

This series has been super insightful. I really wanna see HMM where the future observed state is related to its previous state as well as the hidden model.

[@JasonW9235]

At 9:48, why doesn't the third equation sum up alpha_t(Xi) but alpha_t-1(Xi)?

[@NormalizedNerd]

You are right...it should be alpha_t(X_i)

[@jhanvilotwala1234]

At 6:33, why did alpha3 dissolve only into Y0 and Y0? Why it can't be Y0 and Y1?

[@dominiquedewet3311]

Wow! Excellent explanation! I wish my lecturers knew how to make ML so understandable :D

[@NormalizedNerd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nujranujranujra]

Elegant proof. It was beautiful. Can we more generalize this algorithm further for higher-order Markov models? , i.e., the current state depends on not only the previous state but also, more previous states. Also, please make videos for the Backward algorithm and Viterbi algorithm.

[@PeterParker-ee6ep]

great explanation

[@sounaq4005]

Hi, what is Y^t in the last formula is it the same as Y suffix t which is nothing but the observed mood sequences with their index?

[@kafaayari]

Great tutorial. Thx. but I wonder the following: When you are dividing the problem at 05:42, you divide it to two sequences ending with X0 and X1. Is this specifically selected? Wouldn't it work if we divide the problem to two sequences starting with X0 and X1 (instead of ending)

[@anuvarshini8608]
