Abstract

Standard hidden Markov models (HMM's) have been studied extensively in the last two decades. It is well known that these models assume state conditional independence of the observations. Therefore, they are inadequate for classification of complex and highly structured patterns. Nowadays, the need for new statistical models that are capable to cope with structural time series data is increasing. We propose in this paper a novel paradigm that we named “structural hidden Markov model” (SHMM). It extends traditional HMM's by partitioning the set of observation sequences into classes of equivalences. These observation sequences are related in the sense they all contribute to produce a particular local structure. We describe four basic problems that are assigned to a structural hidden Markov model: (1) probability evaluation, (2) statistical decoding, (3) local structure decoding, and (4) parameter estimation. We have applied SHMM in order to mine customers' preferences for automotive designs. The results reported in this application show that SHMM's outperform the traditional hidden Markov model with a 9% of increase in accuracy.
