We discuss the integration of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood learning of Bayesian networks with belief propagation algorithms for approximate i...
The mixmod (mixture modeling) program fits mixture models to a given data set for the purposes of density estimation, clustering or discriminant analysis. A large variety of algor...
— A learning machine is called singular if its Fisher information matrix is singular. Almost all learning machines used in information processing are singular, for example, layer...
This paper presents a method for the self-calibration of non-rigid affine structure to a Euclidean co-ordinate frame from only two views by enforcing constraints derived from the ...
Many probabilistic models are only defined up to a normalization constant. This makes maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters very difficult. Typically, one then h...
