Description

Dear maintainers,

I was wondering if there is any way of extending tfd.HiddenMarkovModel to a hidden semi-Markov setting, where emissions depend not only on the last seen hidden state but also on the time elapsed since the last state switch (see figure below).

Thanks a lot for your help!

Research direction

Start by reading the tfd.HiddenMarkovModel API and the issue’s hidden semi-Markov diagram to determine whether duration-dependent emissions fit the existing model. Define the required extension and its expected behavior before identifying implementation files or tests; done would mean a supported hidden semi-Markov model with documented duration-dependent emissions and validation.
