English Dictionary

forward-backward algorithm

noun

An inference algorithm for hidden Markov models which computes the posterior marginals of all hidden state variables given a sequence of observations/emissions. It uses dynamic programming to compute the values in two passes, the first going forward in time and the second backward.

The forward-backward algorithm is used in hidden Markov models.

意味（1）

意味（2）

Any algorithm belonging to the general class that operate on sequence models in a forward-backward manner.
