Özet

A novel Multiple Instance Hidden Markov Model (MI-HMM) is introduced for classification of ambiguous time-series data, and its training is accomplished via Metropolis-Hastings sampling. Without introducing any additional parameters, the MI-HMM provides an elegant and simple way to learn the parameters of an HMM in a Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) framework. The efficacy of the model is shown on a real landmine dataset. Experiments on the landmine dataset show that MI-HMM learning is very effective, and outperforms the state-of-the-art models that are currently being used in the field for landmine detection.
