This book presents in-depth surveys and systematic discussions on models, algorithms and applications for link mining. Link mining is an important field of data mining. Traditional data mining focuses on "flat" data in which each data object is represented as a fixed-length attribute vector. However, many real-world data sets are...

The development of pattern recognition methods on the basis of so-called Markov models is tightly coupled to the technological progress in the field of automatic speech recognition. Today, however, Markov chain and hidden Markov models are also applied in many other fields where the task is the modeling and analysis of chronologically...
