HMM LEARNING DEVICE AND METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An HMM (Hidden Markov Model) learning device includes: a learning unit for learning a state transition probability as the function of actions that an agent can execute, with learning with HMM performed based on actions that the agent has executed, and time series information made up of an observation signal; and a storage unit for storing learning results by the learning unit as internal model data including a state-transition probability table and an observation probability table; with the learning unit calculating frequency variables used for estimation calculation of HMM state-transition and HMM observation probabilities; with the storage unit holding the frequency variables corresponding to each of state-transition probabilities and each of observation probabilities respectively, of the state-transition probability table; and with the learning unit using the frequency variables held by the storage unit to perform learning, and estimating the state-transition probability and the observation probability based on the frequency variables.
