β¦ Synopsis
We present a formulation of the Needleman-Wunsch type algorithm for sequence alignment in which the mutation matrix is allowed to vary under the control of a hidden Markov process. The fully trainable model is applied to two problems in bioinformatics: the recognition of related gene/protein names and the alignment and scoring of homologous proteins.

We propose a dynamic graphical model which generalizes nonhomogeneous hidden Markov models. Inference and forecast procedures are developed. A comparison with an exact propagation algorithm is established and equivalence is stated.
Markov random field (MRF) is a useful technical tool for modeling dynamics systen~s exhibiting some type of spatio-temporal variability. In this paper, we propose optimal filters for the states of a partially observed temporal Markov random field. We also discuss parameters estimation. This general
