Course taken during Fall 2002   Compiled on May 25, 2020 at 5:50am

Hidden Markov Models (HMM) main algorithms (forward, backward, and Viterbi) are outlined, and a GUI based implementation (in MATLAB) of a basic HMM is included along with a user guide. The implementation uses a flexible plain text configuration file format for describing the HMM.

This is screen shot of the final Matlab program written for the implmenetation.
