OK ? That 's what 's going on. Uh. What 's up with you ?
Um  our t I went to  talk with uh Mike Jordan this  this week
Mm - hmm.
um  and uh  shared with him the ideas about um  extending the Larry Saul work and um I asked him some questions about factorial H M so like later down the line when  we 've come up with these  these feature detectors , how do we   how do we uh  you know , uh model the time series that  that happens um   and  and we talked a little bit about  factorial H M Ms and how  um when you 're doing inference  or w when you 're doing recognition , there 's like simple Viterbi stuff that you can do for   for these H M and  the uh   the great advantages that um a lot of times the factorial H M Ms don't  um  don't over - alert the problem there they have a limited number of parameters and they focus directly on   on uh the sub - problems at hand so  you can imagine  um  five or so parallel  um features um transitioning independently and then  at the end you  you uh couple these factorial H M Ms with uh   with uh undirected links um based on   based on some more data.
