چکیده
This note is completely expository, and contains a whirlwind abridged introduction to the topic of mixture models by focusing on the application of clustering. More detailed and complete expositions are available in the literature; for instance, the standard machine learning texts (e.g. [Mur12, Bis06]) provide a thorough treatment of this material.

Variable (feature) selection has attracted much attention in contemporary statistical learning and recent scientific research. This is mainly due to the rapid advancement in modern technology that allows scientists to collect data of unprecedented size and complexity. One type of statistical problem in such applications is concerned with modeling an output variable as a function of a sma...
متن کاملRecognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model
Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
متن کاملDiscriminative Mixture Models
We consider the problem of learning density mixture models for Classification. Traditional learning of mixtures for density estimation focuses on models that correctly represent the density at all points in the sample space. Discriminative learning, on the other hand, aims at representing the density at the decision boundary. We introduce novel discriminative learning methods for mixtures of ge...
متن کاملLearning to Rank Documents for Ad-Hoc Retrieval with Regularized Models
In language modeling (LM) approaches for information retrieval (IR), the estimation of document model is critical for retrieval effectiveness. Recent studies have proven that mixture models combining multiple resources can improve the accuracy of the estimation. There arises the problem of how to estimate the mixture weights in the model. In most previous studies, the mixture weights are assign...
متن کاملLearning in high dimensions: modular mixture models
We present a new approach to learning probabilistic models for high dimensional data. This approach divides the data dimensions into low dimensional subspaces, and learns a separate mixture model for each subspace. The models combine in a principled manner to form a flexible modular network that produces a total density estimate. We derive and demonstrate an iterative learning algorithm that us...
متن کاملGeneralized mixture models, semi-supervised learning, and unknown class inference
In this paper, we discuss generalized mixture models and related semi-supervised learning methods, and show how they can be used to provide explicit methods for unknown class inference. After a brief description of standard mixture modeling and current model-based semi-supervised learning methods, we provide the generalization and discuss its computational implementation using three-stage expec...
