Abstract. Even though hidden Markov models (HMMs) have been used for the automatic classification of volcanic earthquakes, their usage has been so far limited to the Bayesian scheme. Recently proposed alternatives, proven in other application scenarios, consist in building HMMinduced vector spaces where discriminative classification techniques can be applied. In this paper, a simple vector space is induced by considering log-likelihoods of the HMMs (per-class) as dimensions. Experimental results show that the discriminative classification in such an induced space leads to better performances than those obtained with the standard Bayesian scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
