Researchers have developed new tensorized algorithms and scalable filtering methods to address the computational challenges associated with factorial hidden Markov models (fHMMs). These models are more realistic for systems with multiple independent factors but suffer from increased computational costs due to their larger state-space when reformulated as standard HMMs. The proposed approach utilizes tensor algebra to directly exploit the multidimensional structure of fHMMs, bypassing the need for intermediate HMM representations. This novel filtering method significantly enhances computational performance, making the analysis of large systems and datasets more efficient and practical. AI
