  2. Instructions for lecture notes • Presentation of material covered in lecture • Complete sentences & paragraphs, readable text • Ideally, fill-in explanation on confusing points by going to the references • If in doubt, ask for help

  3. Outline for our next topic • Hidden Markov models – the theory • Probabilistic interpretation of alignments using HMMs Later in the course: • Applications of HMMs to biological sequence modeling and discovery of features such as genes

  4. Example: The Dishonest Casino A casino has two dice: • Fair die P(1) = P(2) = P(3) = P(5) = P(6) = 1/6 • Loaded die P(1) = P(2) = P(3) = P(5) = 1/10 P(6) = 1/2 Casino player switches back-&-forth between fair and loaded die once every 20 turns Game: • You bet $1 • You roll (always with a fair die) • Casino player rolls (maybe with fair die, maybe with loaded die) • Highest number wins $2

  5. Question # 1 – Evaluation GIVEN A sequence of rolls by the casino player 1245526462146146136136661664661636616366163616515615115146123562344 QUESTION How likely is this sequence, given our model of how the casino works? This is the EVALUATION problem in HMMs

  6. Question # 2 – Decoding GIVEN A sequence of rolls by the casino player 1245526462146146136136661664661636616366163616515615115146123562344 QUESTION What portion of the sequence was generated with the fair die, and what portion with the loaded die? This is the DECODING question in HMMs

  7. Question # 3 – Learning GIVEN A sequence of rolls by the casino player 1245526462146146136136661664661636616366163616515615115146123562344 QUESTION How “loaded” is the loaded die? How “fair” is the fair die? How often does the casino player change from fair to loaded, and back? This is the LEARNING question in HMMs

  8. The dishonest casino model 0.05 0.95 0.95 FAIR LOADED P(1|F) = 1/6 P(2|F) = 1/6 P(3|F) = 1/6 P(4|F) = 1/6 P(5|F) = 1/6 P(6|F) = 1/6 P(1|L) = 1/10 P(2|L) = 1/10 P(3|L) = 1/10 P(4|L) = 1/10 P(5|L) = 1/10 P(6|L) = 1/2 0.05

  9. Definition of a hidden Markov model Definition: A hidden Markov model (HMM) • Alphabet = { b1, b2, …, bM } • Set of states Q = { 1, ..., K } • Transition probabilities between any two states aij = transition prob from state i to state j ai1 + … + aiK = 1, for all states i = 1…K • Start probabilities a0i a01 + … + a0K = 1 • Emission probabilities within each state ei(b) = P( xi = b | i = k) ei(b1) + … + ei(bM) = 1, for all states i = 1…K 1 2 K …

  10. A HMM is memory-less At each time step t, the only thing that affects future states is the current state t P(t+1 = k | “whatever happened so far”) = P(t+1 = k | 1, 2, …, t, x1, x2, …, xt) = P(t+1 = k | t) 1 2 K …

  11. 1 1 1 1 … 2 2 2 2 … … … … … K K K K … A parse of a sequence Given a sequence x = x1……xN, A parse of x is a sequence of states  = 1, ……, N 1 2 2 K x1 x2 x3 xN

  12. 1 1 1 1 … 2 2 2 2 … … … … … K K K K … Likelihood of a parse 1 Given a sequence x = x1……xN and a parse  = 1, ……, N, To find how likely is the parse: (given our HMM) P(x, ) = P(x1, …, xN, 1, ……, N) = P(xN, N | x1…xN-1, 1, ……, N-1) P(x1…xN-1, 1, ……, N-1) = P(xN, N | N-1) P(x1…xN-1, 1, ……, N-1) = … = P(xN, N | N-1) P(xN-1, N-1 | N-2)……P(x2, 2 | 1) P(x1, 1) = P(xN | N)P(N | N-1) ……P(x2 | 2)P(2 | 1)P(x1 | 1)P(1) = a01 a12……aN-1Ne1(x1)……eN(xN) 2 2 K x1 x2 x3 xN

  13. Example: the dishonest casino Let the sequence of rolls be: x = 1, 2, 1, 5, 6, 2, 1, 6, 2, 4 Then, what is the likelihood of  = Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair, Fair? (say initial probs a0Fair = ½, aoLoaded = ½) ½  P(1 | Fair) P(Fair | Fair) P(2 | Fair) P(Fair | Fair) … P(4 | Fair) = ½  (1/6)10  (0.95)9 = .00000000521158647211 = 0.521  10-9

  14. Example: the dishonest casino • So, the likelihood the die is fair in all this run • is just 0.521  10-9 • OK, but what is the likelihood of = Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded, Loaded? ½  P(1 | Loaded) P(Loaded, Loaded) … P(4 | Loaded) = ½  (1/10)8  (1/2)2 (0.95)9 = .00000000078781176215 = 0.79  10-9 Therefore, it somewhat more likely that the die is fair all the way, than that it is loaded all the way

  15. Example: the dishonest casino Let the sequence of rolls be: x = 1, 6, 6, 5, 6, 2, 6, 6, 3, 6 Now, what is the likelihood  = F, F, …, F? ½  (1/6)10  (0.95)9 = 0.5  10-9, same as before What is the likelihood  = L, L, …, L? ½  (1/10)4  (1/2)6 (0.95)9 = .00000049238235134735 = 0.5  10-7 So, it is 100 times more likely the die is loaded

  16. The three main questions on HMMs • Evaluation GIVEN a HMM M, and a sequence x, FIND Prob[ x | M ] • Decoding GIVEN a HMM M, and a sequence x, FIND the sequence  of states that maximizes P[ x,  | M ] • Learning GIVEN a HMM M, with unspecified transition/emission probs., and a sequence x, FIND parameters  = (ei(.), aij) that maximize P[ x |  ]

  17. Let’s not be confused by notation P[ x | M ]: The probability that sequence x was generated by the model The model is: architecture (#states, etc) + parameters  = aij, ei(.) So, P[x | M] is the same with P[ x |  ], and P[ x ], when the architecture, and the parameters, respectively, are implied Similarly, P[ x,  | M ], P[ x,  |  ] and P[ x,  ] are the same when the architecture, and the parameters, are implied In the LEARNING problem we always write P[ x |  ] to emphasize that we are seeking the * that maximizes P[ x |  ]

  18. Problem 1: Decoding Find the best parse of a sequence

  19. 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 … 2 2 2 2 … K … … … … x1 K K K K … x2 x3 xN Decoding GIVEN x = x1x2……xN We want to find  = 1, ……, N, such that P[ x,  ] is maximized * = argmax P[ x,  ] We can use dynamic programming! Let Vk(i) = max{1,…,i-1} P[x1…xi-1, 1, …, i-1, xi, i = k] = Probability of most likely sequence of states ending at state i = k

  20. Decoding – main idea Given that for all states k, and for a fixed position i, Vk(i) = max{1,…,i-1} P[x1…xi-1, 1, …, i-1, xi, i = k] What is Vl(i+1)? From definition, Vl(i+1) = max{1,…,i}P[ x1…xi, 1, …, i, xi+1, i+1 = l ] = max{1,…,i}P(xi+1, i+1 = l | x1…xi,1,…, i) P[x1…xi, 1,…, i] = max{1,…,i}P(xi+1, i+1 = l | i ) P[x1…xi-1, 1, …, i-1, xi, i] = maxk [P(xi+1, i+1 = l | i = k) max{1,…,i-1}P[x1…xi-1,1,…,i-1, xi,i=k]] = el(xi+1)maxk aklVk(i)

  21. The Viterbi Algorithm Input: x = x1……xN Initialization: V0(0) = 1 (0 is the imaginary first position) Vk(0) = 0, for all k > 0 Iteration: Vj(i) = ej(xi)  maxk akj Vk(i-1) Ptrj(i) = argmaxk akj Vk(i-1) Termination: P(x, *) = maxk Vk(N) Traceback: N* = argmaxk Vk(N) i-1* = Ptri (i)

  22. The Viterbi Algorithm x1 x2 x3 ………………………………………..xN Similar to “aligning” a set of states to a sequence Time: O(K2N) Space: O(KN) State 1 2 Vj(i) K

  23. Viterbi Algorithm – a practical detail Underflows are a significant problem P[ x1,…., xi, 1, …, i ] = a01 a12……ai e1(x1)……ei(xi) These numbers become extremely small – underflow Solution: Take the logs of all values Vl(i) = logek(xi) + maxk [ Vk(i-1) + log akl ]

  24. Example Let x be a sequence with a portion of ~ 1/6 6’s, followed by a portion of ~ ½ 6’s… x = 123456123456…123456626364656…1626364656 Then, it is not hard to show that optimal parse is (exercise): FFF…………………...FLLL………………………...L 6 characters “123456” parsed as F, contribute .956(1/6)6 = 1.610-5 parsed as L, contribute .956(1/2)1(1/10)5 = 0.410-5 “162636” parsed as F, contribute .956(1/6)6 = 1.610-5 parsed as L, contribute .956(1/2)3(1/10)3 = 9.010-5

  25. Problem 2: Evaluation Find the likelihood a sequence is generated by the model

  26. 1 1 1 1 … 2 2 2 2 … … … … … K K K K … Generating a sequence by the model Given a HMM, we can generate a sequence of length n as follows: • Start at state 1 according to prob a01 • Emit letter x1 according to prob e1(x1) • Go to state 2 according to prob a12 • … until emitting xn 1 a02 2 2 0 K e2(x1) x1 x2 x3 xn

  27. P(box: FFFFFFFFFFF) = (1/6)11 * 0.9512 = 2.76-9 * 0.54 = 1.49-9 P(box: LLLLLLLLLLL) = [ (1/2)6 * (1/10)5 ] * 0.9512 * 0.052 = 1.56*10-7 * 1.5-3= 0.23-9 A couple of questions Given a sequence x, • What is the probability that x was generated by the model? • Given a position i, what is the most likely state that emitted xi? Example: the dishonest casino Say x = 12341623162616364616234161221341 Most likely path:  = FF……F However: marked letters more likely to be L than unmarked letters

  28. Evaluation We will develop algorithms that allow us to compute: P(x) Probability of x given the model P(xi…xj) Probability of a substring of x given the model P(I = k | x) Probability that the ith state is k, given x A more refined measure of which states x may be in

  29. The Forward Algorithm We want to calculate P(x) = probability of x, given the HMM Sum over all possible ways of generating x: P(x) =  P(x, ) =  P(x | ) P() To avoid summing over an exponential number of paths , define fk(i) = P(x1…xi, i = k) (the forward probability)

  30. The Forward Algorithm – derivation Define the forward probability: fk(i) = P(x1…xi, i = k) = 1…i-1 P(x1…xi-1, 1,…, i-1, i = k) ek(xi) = l 1…i-2 P(x1…xi-1, 1,…, i-2, i-1 = l) alk ek(xi) = ek(xi) l fl(i-1) alk

  31. The Forward Algorithm We can compute fk(i) for all k, i, using dynamic programming! Initialization: f0(0) = 1 fk(0) = 0, for all k > 0 Iteration: fk(i) = ek(xi) l fl(i-1) alk Termination: P(x) = k fk(N) ak0 Where, ak0 is the probability that the terminating state is k (usually = a0k)

  32. Relation between Forward and Viterbi • FORWARD • Initialization: • f0(0) = 1 • fk(0) = 0, for all k > 0 • Iteration: • fl(i) = el(xi) k fk(i-1) akl • Termination: • P(x) = k fk(N) ak0 VITERBI Initialization: V0(0) = 1 Vk(0) = 0, for all k > 0 Iteration: Vj(i) = ej(xi) maxkVk(i-1) akj Termination: P(x, *) = maxkVk(N)

  33. Motivation for the Backward Algorithm We want to compute P(i = k | x), the probability distribution on the ith position, given x We start by computing P(i = k, x) = P(x1…xi, i = k, xi+1…xN) = P(x1…xi, i = k) P(xi+1…xN | x1…xi, i = k) = P(x1…xi, i = k) P(xi+1…xN | i = k) Then, P(i = k | x) = P(i = k, x) / P(x) Forward, fk(i) Backward, bk(i)

  34. The Backward Algorithm – derivation Define the backward probability: bk(i) = P(xi+1…xN | i = k) = i+1…N P(xi+1,xi+2, …, xN, i+1, …, N | i = k) = l i+1…N P(xi+1,xi+2, …, xN, i+1 = l, i+2, …, N | i = k) = l el(xi+1) akl i+1…N P(xi+2, …, xN, i+2, …, N | i+1 = l) = l el(xi+1) akl bl(i+1)

  35. The Backward Algorithm We can compute bk(i) for all k, i, using dynamic programming Initialization: bk(N) = ak0, for all k Iteration: bk(i) = l el(xi+1) akl bl(i+1) Termination: P(x) = l a0l el(x1) bl(1)

  36. Computational Complexity What is the running time, and space required, for Forward, and Backward? Time: O(K2N) Space: O(KN) Useful implementation technique to avoid underflows Viterbi: sum of logs Forward/Backward: rescaling at each position by multiplying by a constant

  37. Posterior Decoding We can now calculate fk(i) bk(i) P(i = k | x) = ––––––– P(x) Then, we can ask What is the most likely state at position i of sequence x: Define ^ by Posterior Decoding: ^i = argmaxkP(i = k | x)

  38. Posterior Decoding • For each state, • Posterior Decoding gives us a curve of likelihood of state for each position • That is sometimes more informative than Viterbi path * • Posterior Decoding may give an invalid sequence of states • Why?

  39. Posterior Decoding x1 x2 x3 …………………………………………… xN • P(i = k | x) = P( | x) 1(i = k) =  {:[i] = k}P( | x) State 1 P(i=l|x) l k

  40. Posterior Decoding x1 x2 x3 …………………………………………… xN • Example: How do we compute P(i = l, ji = l’ | x)? fl(i) bl(j) P(i = l, iI = l’ | x) = ––––––– P(x) State 1 P(i=l|x) l P(j=l’|x) k
