Exercise 17.4 - EM for HMMs with tied mixtures

Answers

In this case on term in the auxiliary function reads:

log p ( 𝐳 1 : T , 𝐱 1 : T ) = j = 1 J 𝕀 [ z 1 = j ] log π j + t = 2 T i = 1 J j = 1 J 𝕀 [ z t 1 = i , z t = j ] log 𝐀 i , j + t = 1 T j = 1 J 𝕀 [ z t = j ] log ( k = 1 K w 𝑗𝑘 𝒩 ( 𝐱 t | μ k , Σ k ) ) .

Following the same method as in exercise 17.4, we build an internal auxiliary function with new latent variables so it reads:

Q I ( 𝜃 , 𝜃 old ) = n , t j , k 𝔼 [ 𝕀 [ h n , t , j , k = 1 ] ] log 𝒩 ( 𝐱 | μ k , Σ k ) ,

what left is the same as in an ordinary GMM model.
