Viterbi algorithm
Proper noun
Meaning
Viterbi algorithm
A dynamic programming algorithm for finding the most likely sequence of hidden states (the Viterbi path) that results in a sequence of observed events.
Examples
For relatively small values of k, the Viterbi algorithm is universally used as it provides maximum likelihood performance and is highly parallelizable.
This leads to the error-correcting Viterbi algorithm in data transmission.
