Are HMMs still used for unsupervised tasks? [D]

Wait 5 sec.

I'm exploring Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a baseline method for "dataset exploration/discovery" where I have a bunch of unstructured data with no annotations, and wish to gain insights about the structure and semantics of the data within. I was wondering if there are more modern (deep learning based or otherwise) approaches which have completely superseded HMMs for such tasks.   submitted by   /u/fullgoopy_alchemist [link]   [comments]
