IMO, anything that be done with an HMM can now be done with an RNN. The only advantage that an HMM might have is that training it might be faster using cheaper computational resources. But if you have the $$$ to get yourself a GPU or two, this computational advantage disappears for HMMs.
- matt4077 11y agoIt's almost sad – I always felt HMMs had a unique elegance that is lost on the brute-force NN approach. HMMs also used to produce more meaningful intermediate results, although I guess these 'DeepDream' images set a new record in that regard :)
- zump 11y agoNot really. The first order Markov property is really naive when compared to an LSTM.
