Computing Gaussian Mixture Models with EM Using Equivalence Constraints
Density estimation with Gaussian Mixture Models is a popular generative technique used also for clustering. We develop a framework to incorporate side information in the form of e...

SAR images as mixtures of Gaussian mixtures
We consider the problem of image segmentation by clustering local histograms with parametric mixture-of-mixture models. These models represent each cluster by a single mixture mod...

Document Classification Using a Finite Mixture Model
We propose a new method of classifying documents into categories. We define for each category a finite mixture model based on soft clustering of words. We treat the problem of cla...

A Comparison of New and Old Algorithms for a Mixture Estimation Problem
We investigate the problem of estimating the proportion vector which maximizes the likelihood of a given sample for a mixture of given densities. We adapt a framework developed for...

Newscast EM
We propose a gossip-based distributed algorithm for Gaussian mixture learning, Newscast EM. The algorithm operates on network topologies where each node observes a local quantity ...
