    • See my thesis (chapter 5) for an equivalent directed graphical model, which is the precusor of this work and where I had described the Assymetric Inside-Outside (AIO) algorithm in great detail. A brief version of this for directed case has also appeared in this AAAI'04's paper. The idea of semi-Markov duration modelling has also been addressed for directed case in these CVPR05 and AIJ09 papers.
