On Learning Mixtures of Heavy-Tailed Distributions
We consider the problem of learning mixtures of arbitrary symmetric distributions. We formulate sufficient separation conditions and present a learning algorithm with provable gua...

Robust Regression with Asymmetric Heavy-Tail Noise Distributions
In the presence of a heavy-tail noise distribution, regression becomes much more di cult. Traditional robust regression methods assume that the noise distribution is symmetric and...

Robust Image Segmentation with Mixtures of Student's t-Distributions
Gaussian mixture models have been widely used in image segmentation. However, such models are sensitive to outliers. In this paper, we consider a robust model for image segmentati...

Labeling skin tissues in ultrasound images using a generalized Rayleigh mixture model
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the statistical distribution of multiple-tissue non-stationary ultrasound images of skin. The distribution of multiple-tissue images...

Exponential families and simplification of mixture models
Presentation of the exponential families, of the mixtures of such distributions and how to learn it. We then present algorithms to simplify mixture model, using Kullback-Leibler di...
