Abstract: Our main contribution is to propose a novel model selection methodology, expectation minimization of information criterion (EMIC). EMIC makes a significant impact on the...
A Bayesian ensemble learning method is introduced for unsupervised extraction of dynamic processes from noisy data. The data are assumed to be generated by an unknown nonlinear ma...
We present a tutorial survey on some recent approaches to unsupervised machine learning in the context of statistical pattern recognition. In statistical PR, there are two classica...
Jensen's inequality is a powerful mathematical tool and one of the workhorses in statistical learning. Its applications therein include the EM algorithm, Bayesian estimation ...
