The Hierarchical Mixture of Experts (HME) is a well-known tree-structured model for regression and classification, based on soft probabilistic splits of the input space. In its o...
In this paper we describe a new approach to data modelling called the concept-oriented model (CoM). This model is based on the formalism of nested ordered sets which uses inclusion...
In spite of the popularity of probabilistic mixture models for latent structure discovery from data, mixture models do not have a natural mechanism for handling sparsity, where ea...
In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm for reducing a large mixture of Gaussians into a smaller mixture while still preserving the component structure of the original mod...
We address the problem of learning topic hierarchies from data. The model selection problem in this domain is daunting—which of the large collection of possible trees to use? We...
