The Viterbi algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm used primarily in the field of digital communications and signal processing, as well as in computational biology, natural language processing, and other areas where it is necessary to decode hidden Markov models (HMMs). ### Key Features of the Viterbi Algorithm: 1. **Purpose**: The algorithm's primary goal is to find the most likely sequence of hidden states that results in a sequence of observed events or outputs.
