- Markov Models for Pattern Recognition (978-1-4471-6307-7) - Einband - fest (Hardcover)
„The practice part makes the book unique among many other pattern recognition textbooks. It discusses implementation details that are often ignored in the literature, but are important in constructing a working system. … Overall, the book is well written and clear ... It is suited not to those who want to learn the basics of pattern recognition, but to those who want to learn the state of the art of speech, character, and DNA sequence recognition problems from the perspective of the practitioner and designer. … The depth and breadth of the treatment is right for the intent of the book.“
(T. Kubota, Lewisburg, PA, in: Computing Reviews, May 2009)
This comprehensive introduction to the Markov modeling framework describes the underlying theoretical concepts of Markov models as used for sequential data, covering Hidden Markov models and Markov chain models. It also presents the techniques necessary to build successful systems for practical applications. In addition, the book demonstrates the actual use of the technology in the three main application areas of pattern recognition methods based on Markov-Models: speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and biological sequence analysis. The book is suitable for experts as well as for practitioners.
