New framework uses unsupervised learning for Markov model state construction

This paper introduces a novel framework for constructing states in Markov models using data-driven methods. It addresses the common issue of arbitrary state definition by combining supervised feature selection with unsupervised learning techniques like density-based clustering, spectral clustering, and Kohonen self-organizing maps. The research demonstrates that spectral clustering and Kohonen self-organizing maps are particularly effective at identifying inherent structures, leading to improved Markov model accuracy and predictive power.

    A Data-Driven Approach to State Construction in Markov Models

    arXiv:2608.21480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A Markov chain is a widely used stochastic process modelling random events over time. These models are built on subsets of the entire dataset, referred to as states, which are considered to be homogeneous regarding transition probab…
