Unsupervised Probabilistic Segmentation of Motion Data for Mimesis Modeling. Janus, B. & Nakamura, Y. In Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics, pages 411--417, 2005.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Humanoid developments express the need for intelligent learning systems that can automatically realize behavior acquisition and symbol emergence. In the framework of mimesis model, we present an unsupervised dynamic HMM-based algorithm in order to analyze vectorial motion data. The efficiency of this algorithm is demonstrated by segmenting continuous sequence of real movements. We also propose to use it as the first level of an information treatment system by associating it with a recognition process. Unlike other existing segmentation-recognition system, our segmentation process does not need any learning of the parameters that increases the flexibility of the whole segmentation-recognition system and the range of its possible applications

HMM state changes occurred when the signal's distribution function is sufficiently different from the previous state, suggesting possible segmentation points at these state changes. This algorithm was verified on a dataset of a human subject performing various different full body exercises, captured with motion capture and translated to joint angles via inverse kinematics. However, segmentation accuracy was not provided.},
