Really nice work! It's usually hard to know how well hidden Markov models can identify behavioural states of interest, so it seems important to use all relevant data sources when available (e.g., for "supervised" learning, or for validation like here).
Happy to share our new #OA paper😍from my #PhD in @Ecol_Evol! Using (rarely available) observed behavioural data of terns, we validate #HMMs for #seabird behavioural inference. 📰: https://t.co/pWY0xb9lsG
