The EM algorithm is used for many applications, including the Boltzmann machine, stochastic Perceptron, and HMM. This algorithm gives an iterating procedure for calculating the MLE of stochastic models which have hidden random variables. It is simple, but the convergence is slow. We also have the Fi
