What are the differences between CRF and HMM?

What I know about CRF is that they are discriminative models, while HMM are generative models, but, in the inference method, both use the same algorithm, that is, the Viterbi algorithm, and forward and backward algorithms. Does CRF use the same…

What is a conditional random field?

I new in machine learning, especially in Conditional Random Fields (CRF). I have read several articles and papers and in there is always associated with HMM and sequences classification. I don't really understand mathematics, especially in the…

Are Markov Random Fields and Conditional Random Fields still used in computer vision?

Back before deep learning, there were a lot of different attempts at computer vision. Some involved Conditional Random Fields and Markov Random Fields, which were both computationally difficult and hard to understand/implement. Are these areas still…

Conditional input deep neural network

I need to input data conditionally to my deep network. In order to explain cases, I'd like to give an example. Assume that I have a 50-attribute dataset. For some attributes, a specific part of hidden layers is responsible, and for others, a…
