Bayesian Learning of Hierarchical Multinomial Mixture Models of Concepts for Automatic Image Annotation
We propose a novel Bayesian learning framework of hierarchical mixture model by incorporating prior hierarchical knowledge into concept representations of multi-level concept struc...

Dirichlet process mixture models with multiple modalities
The Dirichlet process can be used as a nonparametric prior for an infinite-dimensional probability mass function on the parameter space of a mixture model. The set of parameters o...

Learning Mixtures of Localized Rules by Maximizing the Area Under the ROC Curve
We introduce a model class for statistical learning which is based on mixtures of propositional rules. In our mixture model, the weight of a rule is not uniform over the entire ins...

Shape analysis using the Fisher-Rao Riemannian metric: unifying shape representation and deformation
— We show that the Fisher-Rao Riemannian metric is a natural, intrinsic tool for computing shape geodesics. When a parameterized probability density function is used to represent...

Stability Region Based Expectation Maximization for Model-based Clustering
In spite of the initialization problem, the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm is widely used for estimating the parameters in several data mining related tasks. Most popular ...

Hierarchical mixture models: a probabilistic analysis
Mixture models form one of the most widely used classes of generative models for describing structured and clustered data. In this paper we develop a new approach for the analysis...

Compact and Understandable Descriptions of Mixtures of Bernoulli Distributions
Abstract. Finite mixture models can be used in estimating complex, unknown probability distributions and also in clustering data. The parameters of the models form a complex repres...

Split-Merge Incremental LEarning (SMILE) of Mixture Models
In this article we present an incremental method for building a mixture model. Given the desired number of clusters K ≥ 2, we start with a two-component mixture and we optimize t...

Modeling and Estimation of Dependent Subspaces with Non-radially Symmetric and Skewed Densities
We extend the Gaussian scale mixture model of dependent subspace source densities to include non-radially symmetric densities using Generalized Gaussian random variables linked by ...

Spatial Mixture Modelling for the Joint Detection-Estimation of Brain Activity in fMRI
— Within-subject analysis in event-related functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) first relies on (i) a detection step to localize which parts of the brain are activated b...
