Mixtures of Gaussians are a crucial statistical modeling tool at the heart of many challenging applications in computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, we first descri...
Many clustering algorithms fail when dealing with high dimensional data. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular dimensionality reduction algorithm. However, it assumes a ...
Given data drawn from a mixture of multivariate Gaussians, a basic problem is to accurately estimate the mixture parameters. We give an algorithm for this problem that has running ...
The problem of merging Gaussian mixture components is discussed in situations where a Gaussian mixture is fitted but the mixture components are not separated enough from each othe...
The goal of clustering is to identify distinct groups in a dataset. The basic idea of model-based clustering is to approximate the data density by a mixture model, typically a mix...
