We consider the problem of learning mixtures of distributions via spectral methods and derive a tight characterization of when such methods are useful. Specifically, given a mixt...
We consider the problem of learning mixtures of product distributions over discrete domains in the distribution learning framework introduced by Kearns et al. [18]. We give a poly...
Abstract. We propose and analyze a new vantage point for the learning of mixtures of Gaussians: namely, the PAC-style model of learning probability distributions introduced by Kear...
There is a range of potential applications of Machine Learning where it would be more useful to predict the probability distribution for a variable rather than simply the most lik...

We report the results of fitting mixture models to the distribution of expression values for individual genes over a broad range of normal tissues, which we call the marginal expr...
