	Viterbi algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Viterbi algorithm, named after its developer Andrew Viterbi, is a dynamic programming algorithm for finding the most likely sequence of hidden states – known as the Viterbi path – that result in a sequence of observed events, especially in the context of hidden Markov models.
		The Viterbi algorithm was originally conceived as an error-correction scheme for noisy digital communication links, finding universal application in decoding the convolutional codes used in both CDMA and GSM digital cellular, dial-up modems, satellite, deep-space communications, and 802.11 wireless LANs.
		The Viterbi path itself is computed as the corresponding argmax of that maximization, by extending the Viterbi path that leads to the current state with the next state.

		The Viterbis made the trip from their home in San Diego a day earlier to attend the Viterbi Conference and evening Viterbi Lecture, a keynote address that is delivered each year by a distinguished leader in information technology and digital communications.
		Viterbi and a handful of other prominent pioneers in satellite communication are featured on the cover of a 1958 issue of Life magazine as they studied transmissions in the control room of Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite to orbit earth.
		Viterbi’s groundbreaking paper in 1967 describing an algorithm that would eliminate much of the interference in satellite communications at the time — the Viterbi algorithm — is also part of the collection.
