In this third vlog, we delve deeper into the intricacies of the Markov model. Utilizing MAX/MSP, we're opening the ml.markov object to explore its functionality. By inputting simple sequences of numbers into the model, we're examining how it operates. Surprisingly, the ml.markov object appears to extend the capabilities of the model through the use of the 'order' command. The characteristic feature of Markov models, as a machine learning approach, is their somewhat limited memory. They only 'remember' the most recent number outputted. However, with the 'order' command, we can enable the Markov model to remember longer sequences of data. This enhancement allows it to learn and recognize more complex patterns.
