Tensorized algorithms and scalable filtering methods for hidden Markov and factorial hidden Markov models

arXiv:2607. 07008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A common method for the representation and analysis of time-series data is the hidden Markov model (HMM), where each observation is associated with a hidden state that evolves over time.

High-Performance Tensor Formulation of the Viterbi Algorithm for Hidden Semi-Markov Models

The paper introduces a tensor-based formulation of the Viterbi algorithm for Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMMs), converting inner loops into tensor operations that align with SIMD and massively parallel architectures. It presents optimized implementations for single- and multi-core CPUs and, for the first time, GPUs. Experiments show speedups of up to 14× on a single core, over 200× with multi-core, and more than 570× on GPU compared to the sequential baseline, setting a new performance benchmark for large-scale HSMM decoding.

Bayesian Tensor Autoencoder with Physics-informed Predictive Prior for Multi-dimensional Time Series Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces a Physics-informed Predictive Prior Tensor Autoencoder (PPPTAE) for anomaly detection in multi-dimensional time series. It combines reconstruction-based and prediction-based autoencoders by embedding a Bayesian fusion approach and a predictive prior that respects tensor correlations. The method incorporates physical laws via tensor low‑rank decomposition to prevent over‑generalization and is validated on real‑world datasets.
