| Abstract | Stochastic realization is still an open problem for the class of hidden Markov models (HMM): given the law Q of an HMM find a finite parametric description of it. Fifty years after the introduction of HMMs, no computationally effective realization algorithm has been proposed. In this paper we direct our attention to an approximate version of the stochastic realization problem for HMMs. We aim at the realization of an HMM of assigned complexity (number of states of the underlying Markov chain) which best approximates, in Kullback Leibler divergence rate, a given stationary law Q. In the special case of Q being the law of an HMM this corresponds to solving the approximate realization problem for HMMs. In general there is no closed form expression of the Kullback Leibler divergence rate, therefore we replace it, as approximation criterion, with the informational divergence between the Hankel matrices of the processes. This not only has the advantage of being easy to compute, while providing a good approximation of the divergence rate, but also makes the problem amenable to the use of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) techniques. We propose a three step algorithm, based on the NMF, which realizes an optimal HMM. The viability of the algorithm as a practical tool is tested on a few examples of HMM order reduction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
