A library for hidden semi-Markov models with explicit durations

hsmmlearn

hsmmlearn is a library for unsupervised learning of hidden semi-Markov models with explicit durations. It is a port of the hsmm package for R, and in fact wraps the same underlying C++ library.

hsmmlearn borrows its name and the design of its api from hmmlearn.

Install

hsmmlearn supports Python 3.6 and up. After cloning the repository, you can install the package by running

pip install .

Note the dot (.) at the end of the command, which is part of the command. You will need a C++ compiler to build and install the package.

To run the unit tests, do

python -m unittest discover -v hsmmlearn

Building the documentation

The documentation for hsmmlearn is a work in progress. To build the docs, first install the doc requirements, then run Sphinx:

cd docs
pip install -r doc_requirements.txt
make html

If everything goes well, the documentation should be in docs/_build/html.

Some of the documentation comes as jupyter notebooks, which can be found in the notebooks/ folder. Sphinx ingests these, and produces rst documents out of them. If you end up modifying the notebooks, run make notebooks in the documentation folder and check in the output.

License

hsmmlearn incorporates a significant amount of code from R's hsmm package, and is therefore released under the GPL, version 3.0.
