Bayesian density estimation and model selection using nonparametric hierarchical mixtures
We consider mixtures of parametric densities on the positive reals with a normalized generalized gamma process (Brix, 1999) as mixing measure. This class of mixtures encompasses t...

Infinite mixtures of trees
Finite mixtures of tree-structured distributions have been shown to be efficient and effective in modeling multivariate distributions. Using Dirichlet processes, we extend this ap...

Unsupervised Selection and Discriminative Estimation of Orthogonal Gaussian Mixture Models for Handwritten Digit Recognition
The problem of determining the appropriate number of components is important in finite mixture modeling for pattern classification. This paper considers the application of an unsu...

Latent Dirichlet Allocation
We describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data such as text corpora. LDA is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian m...

Variational segmentation of color images
A variational Bayesian framework is employed in the paper for image segmentation using color clustering. A Gaussian mixture model is used to represent color distributions. Variati...
