Abstract:
This study describes the basic framework of EM algorithm and gives how to apply EM algorithm to solve the problem of maximum-likelihood parameters estimation combining with the models of HMM and PCFG. In the process of statistics natural language, one kind of problem is often encountered that is how to solve the parameter's maximum-likelihood estimation when observation data is incomplete. EM algorithm is the classical method to solve this problem. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of EM algorithm are discussed.
