The partially observable hidden Markov model and its application to keystroke dynamics

作者:

Highlights:

• The partially observable hidden Markov model (POHMM) is introduced.

• In keystroke dynamics, the key names partially reveal typist behavior.

• The POHMM hidden state is conditioned on an independent Markov chain.

• The marginalized POHMM is equivalent to the HMM.

• A method of POHMM parameter smoothing is described.

• We perform user identification, verification, and continuous verification.
