Clustering is often formulated as the maximum likelihood estimation of a mixture model that explains the data. The EM algorithm widely used to solve the resulting optimization pro...
Abstract. Kernel based methods (such as k-nearest neighbors classifiers) for AI tasks translate the classification problem into a proximity search problem, in a space that is usu...
This paper presents the triple jump framework for accelerating the EM algorithm and other bound optimization methods. The idea is to extrapolate the third search point based on th...
In many applications, modelling techniques are necessary which take into account the inherent variability of given data. In this paper, we present an approach to model class speci...
