Entropy of hidden Markov processes and connections to dynamical systems : papers from the Banff International Research Station workshop / edited by Brian Marcus, Karl Petersen, Tsachy Weissman.

"Hidden Markov processes (HMPs) are important objects of study in many areas of pure and applied mathematics, including information theory, probability theory, dynamical systems and statistical physics, with applications in electrical engineering, computer science and molecular biology. This collect...
