Parsimonious reduction of Gaussian mixture models with a variational-Bayes approach
Aggregating statistical representations of classes is an important task for current trends in scaling up learning and recognition, or for addressing them in distributed infrastructures. In this perspective, we address the problem of merging probabilistic Gaussian mixture models in an efficient way, through the search for a suitable combination of components from mixtures to be merged. We propos...
متن کاملParsimonious Gaussian mixture models
Parsimonious Gaussian mixture models are developed using a latent Gaussian model which is closely related to the factor analysis model. These models provide a unified modeling framework which includes the mixtures of probabilistic principal component analyzers and mixtures of factor of analyzers models as special cases. In particular, a class of eight parsimonious Gaussian mixture models which ...
متن کاملHypothesis Testing for Parsimonious Gaussian Mixture Models
Gaussian mixture models with eigen-decomposed covariance structures make up the most popular family of mixture models for clustering and classification, i.e., the Gaussian parsimonious clustering models (GPCM). Although the GPCM family has been used for almost 20 years, selecting the best member of the family in a given situation remains a troublesome problem. Likelihood ratio tests are develop...
متن کاملVideo Segmentation via Variational Bayes Mixture Models
Video modeling is of interest for many applications, including video indexing, video data compression, object detection, unusual-event detection and object recognition. Many approaches employ local (pixelbased) models. In Stauffer and Grimson’s work on background modeling [14], the intensity or color of each pixel is modeled as a mixture of Gaussians, where each mixing component represents one ...
متن کاملVariational Bayes for Hierarchical Mixture Models
In recent years, sparse classification problems have emerged in many fields of study. Finite mixture models have been developed to facilitate Bayesian inference where parameter sparsity is substantial. Classification with finite mixture models is based on the posterior expectation of latent indicator variables. These quantities are typically estimated using the expectation-maximization (EM) alg...
