\caption{An HMM with 4 states which can emit 2 discrete symbols $y_1$ or $y_2$.
$a_{ij}$ is the probability to transition from state $s_i$ to state $s_j$.
$b_j(y_k)$ is the probability to emit symbol $y_k$ in state $s_j$.
In this particular HMM, states can only reach themselves or the adjacent state.}

\caption{Trellis of the observation sequence $y_1$,$y_2$,$y_2$ for the above HMM. The thick arrows
indicate the most probable transitions. As an example, the transition
between state $s_1$ at time t=2 and state $s_4$ at time t=3 has probability
$\alpha_2(1)a_{14}b_4(y_2)$, where $\alpha_t(i)$ is the probability to be in
state $s_i$ at time t.}
