<span lang="EN-US">During the last years, Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have received a lot of attention thanks to their flexibility and ease of use. HMMs have been applied in many areas such as communication engineering, smart buildings, energy, computer vision,
pattern recognition, data mining, signal processing, security, quality control, bioinformatics, financial engineering, remote sensing, etc.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">This book will focus on recent advances, approaches, theories and applications related HMMs. In particular, it aims to present recent inference frameworks and applications that consider HMMs. The consideration of HMMs for a specific task
or application involves several interesting and challenging problems (e.g. estimation, selection, etc.). The goal of this volume is to summarize the recent advances and modern approaches related to these problems. Topics of interest include: (but not limited
