The following libraries and references may be useful for solving this homework.
-
NanoHMM library (includes both C and Python implementations).
Part 1: Slow Forward Algorithm
Implement the "slow" version of the forward algorithm. It should run in O(NT). It should support at least 4 states and sequences of length at least 5. This should be your own code, i.e., you are not allowed to use any other libraries or implementations for this part.
// Insert your code here
Part 2: The Forward Algorithm
Implement the Forward algorithm that runs in O(N2T). It should support sequences of length at least 8 with at least 5 states. Because these numbers are relatively small, your code doesn't have to re-normalize the probabilities at each step of the algorithm. This should be your own code, i.e., you are not allowed to use any other libraries or implementations for this part.
// Insert your code here
Part 3: Forward Check
Check your implementation of the forward algorithm by computing the forward variable alpha for the observation sequence O=(0,1,0,2,0,1,0) given the HMM.
Part 3A: Forward Check Using HMM with Two States
The HMM for Part 3A is specified below:
A = [[0.66, 0.34],
[1, 0]]
B = [[0.5, 0.25, 0.25],
[0.1, 0.1, 0.8]]
pi = [0.8, 0.2]
// Insert the computed N-by-T array for the forward variable alpha here.
Part 3B: Forward Check Using HMM with Three States
The HMM for Part 3B is specified below:
A = [[0.8, 0.1, 0.1],
[0.4, 0.2, 0.4],
[0, 0.3, 0.7]]
B = [[0.66, 0.34, 0],
[0, 0, 1],
[0.5, 0.4, 0.1]]
pi = [0.6, 0, 0.4]
// Insert the computed N-by-T array for the forward variable alpha here.
Part 4: The Backward Algorithm
Implement the Backward algorithm that runs in O(N2T). It should support sequences of length at least 8 with at least 5 states. Because these numbers are relatively small, your code doesn't have to re-normalize the probabilities at each step of the algorithm. This should be your own code, i.e., you are not allowed to use any other libraries or implementations for this part.
// Insert your code here
Part 5: Backward Check
Check your implementation of the backward algorithm by computing the backward variable beta for the observation sequence O=(0,1,0,2,0,1,0) given the HMM.
Part 5A: Backward Check Using HMM with Two States
The HMM for Part 5A is specified below:
A = [[0.66, 0.34],
[1, 0]]
B = [[0.5, 0.25, 0.25],
[0.1, 0.1, 0.8]]
pi = [0.8, 0.2]
// Insert the computed N-by-T array for the backward variable beta here.
Part 5B: Backward Check Using HMM with Three States
The HMM for Part 5B is specified below:
A = [[0.8, 0.1, 0.1],
[0.4, 0.2, 0.4],
[0, 0.3, 0.7]]
B = [[0.66, 0.34, 0],
[0, 0, 1],
[0.5, 0.4, 0.1]]
pi = [0.6, 0, 0.4]
// Insert the computed N-by-T array for the backward variable beta here.
Part 6: Likelihood Calculation
Compute the likelihood for each of the following five observation sequences given the same HMM model:
O1 = (1,0,0,0,1,0,1) O2 = (0,0,0,1,1,2,0) O3 = (1,1,0,1,0,1,2) O4 = (0,1,0,2,0,1,0) O5 = (2,2,0,1,1,0,1)
The HMM for Part 6 is specified below:
A = [[0.6, 0.4],
[1, 0]]
B = [[0.7, 0.3, 0],
[0.1, 0.1, 0.8]]
pi = [0.7, 0.3]
Hint: Compute this by adding the elements in the last column of the alpha array that is computed by your Forward algorithm.
// Insert the computed likelihood for each sequence here. Likelihood for O1 = ? Likelihood for O2 = ? Likelihood for O3 = ? Likelihood for O4 = ? Likelihood for O5 = ?
Part 7: Likelihood Verification
Verify your implementations of the Forward algorithm and the Backward algorithm by computing the likelihood of the observation sequence in multiple ways. More specifically, show that the likelihood value can be computed by performing the dot product between the corresponding column of the forward array and the backward array for each t using the following HMM:
A = [[0.6, 0.4],
[1, 0]]
B = [[0.7, 0.3, 0],
[0.1, 0.1, 0.8]]
pi = [0.7, 0.3]
The observation sequences are:
O1 = (1,0,0,0,1,0,1) O2 = (0,0,0,1,1,2,0) O3 = (1,1,0,1,0,1,2) O4 = (0,1,0,2,0,1,0) O5 = (2,2,0,1,1,0,1)

Part 9: Match Sequences to HMMs (using NanoHMM)
This problem is similar to Part 8, but the sequences are now longer and your Forward and Backward algorithms may no longer work because they don't perform renormalization at each step.
Use the implementation of the Forward algorithm in the NanoHMM library to compute the log-likelihood for each of the following five observation sequences given each of the following five HMMs. Fill the table below and indicate with * the most likely HMM for each sequence. In all cases, N=5, M=6, and T=20.
