Class-Specific Hidden Markov Models (CSHMM)

The concept of identifying each feature set with a class (as in Section 12.2.1) or as a sub-class (Section 12.2.2) can be extended to the states of a HMM [4]. We recommend, however, that if one goes through the trouple of creating a CSHMM, one might as well relax the assumption of uniform-size segmentation and head straight for the multi-resolution HMM (Chapter 14).
