The statistical properties of the likelihood ratio test statistic (LRTS) for mixture-of-expert models are addressed in this paper. This question is essential when estimating the nu...
- In this paper, we show how a topographic mapping can be created from a product of experts. We learn the parameters of the mapping using gradient descent on the negative logarithm...
A non-parametric hierarchical Bayesian framework is developed for designing a classifier, based on a mixture of simple (linear) classifiers. Each simple classifier is termed a loc...
