A.
Viterbi algorithm
The Viterbi algorithm is a dynamic programming method used to find the most likely sequence of hidden states in probabilistic models such as Hidden Markov Models, widely applied in fields like digital communications, speech recognition, and bioinformatics.
-
B.
Baum–Welch algorithm
The Baum–Welch algorithm is an expectation-maximization method used to train the parameters of hidden Markov models from observed data.

The forward-backward algorithm is a dynamic programming method for computing posterior state probabilities in hidden Markov models, widely used in tasks like sequence labeling and speech recognition.
-
D.
Hidden Markov Model
A Hidden Markov Model is a statistical model that represents systems with unobserved (hidden) states generating observable outputs, widely used for sequence analysis tasks such as speech recognition, bioinformatics, and natural language processing.
