Here you can see the full list of changes between each hmmlearn release.
- Fixed underflow when dealing with logs. Thanks to @aubreyli. See PR #105 on GitHub.
- Reduced worst-case memory consumption of the M-step from O(S^2 T) to O(S T). See issue #313 on GitHub.
- Dropped support for Python 2.6. It is no longer supported by scikit-learn.
Released on March 1st, 2016
The release contains a known bug: fitting GMMHMM
with covariance
types other than "diag"
does not work. This is going to be fixed
in the following version. See issue #78 on GitHub for details.
- Removed deprecated re-exports from
hmmlean.hmm
. - Speed up forward-backward algorithms and Viterbi decoding by using Cython typed memoryviews. Thanks to @cfarrow. See PR#82 on GitHub.
- Changed the API to accept multiple sequences via a single feature matrix
X
and an array of sequencelengths
. This allowed to use the HMMs as part of scikit-learnPipeline
. The idea was shamelessly plugged fromseqlearn
package by @larsmans. See issue #29 on GitHub. - Removed
params
andinit_params
from internal methods. Accepting these as arguments was redundant and confusing, because both available as instance attributes. - Implemented
ConvergenceMonitor
, a class for convergence diagnostics. The idea is due to @mvictor212. - Added support for non-fully connected architectures, e.g. left-right HMMs. Thanks to @matthiasplappert. See issue #33 and PR #38 on GitHub.
- Fixed normalization of emission probabilities in
MultinomialHMM
, see issue #19 on GitHub. GaussianHMM
is now initialized from all observations, see issue #1 on GitHub.- Changed the models to do input validation lazily as suggested by the scikit-learn guidelines.
- Added
min_covar
parameter for controlling overfitting ofGaussianHMM
, see issue #2 on GitHub. - Accelerated M-step fro GaussianHMM with full and tied covariances. See PR #97 on GitHub. Thanks to @anntzer.
- Fixed M-step for
GMMHMM
, which incorrectly expectedGMM.score_samples
to return log-probabilities. See PR #4 on GitHub for discussion. Thanks to @mvictor212 and @michcio1234.
