Using Gaussian Mixture Models to Detect Figurative Language in Context
We present a Gaussian Mixture model for detecting different types of figurative language in context. We show that this model performs well when the parameters are estimated in an ...

Information Theoretic Expectation Maximization Based Gaussian Mixture Modeling for Speaker Verification
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is widely used in the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as the state-of-art statistical modeling technique. Like the classical EM method, th...

Gaussian mixture models for spots in microscopy using a new split/merge em algorithm
In confocal microscopy imaging, target objects are labeled with fluorescent markers in the living specimen, and usually appear as spots in the observed images. Spot detection and ...

Probabilistic modeling of traffic lanes from GPS traces
Instead of traditional ways of creating road maps, an attractive alternative is to create a map based on GPS traces of regular drivers. One important aspect of this approach is to...

Bayesian Approaches to Gaussian Mixture Modeling
—A Bayesian-based methodology is presented which automatically penalizes overcomplex models being fitted to unknown data. We show that, with a Gaussian mixture model, the approac...

Efficient adaptive density estimation per image pixel for the task of background subtraction
We analyze the computer vision task of pixel-level background subtraction. We present recursive equations that are used to constantly update the parameters of a Gaussian mixture m...

Pearson-based mixture model for color object tracking
To track objects in video sequences, many studies have been done to characterize the target with respect to its color distribution. Most often, the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is ...

A similarity measure between unordered vector sets with application to image categorization
We present a novel approach to compute the similarity between two unordered variable-sized vector sets. To solve this problem, several authors have proposed to model each vector s...
