The background modeling algorithm based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is a widely used method in moving objects detection with static cameras. Base on the situation that traditional Gaussian mixture model is very sensitive to sudden illumination variation and is slow for convergence speed, this paper proposed a method to detect the illumination variation and update the single learning rate, i...

A two-stage classifier is used to improve the classification performance between normal and pathological voices. A primary classification between normal and pathological voices is achieved by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) log-likelihood scores. For samples that do not meet the thresholds for normal or disordered voice in the GMM, the final decision is made by a higher-order statistics (HOS)-...

This study focuses on the classification of pathological voice using GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) and compares the results to the previous work which was done by ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Speech data from normal people and patients were collected, then diagnosed and classified into two different categories. Six characteristic parameters (Jitter, Shimmer, NHR, SPI, APQ and RAP) were chose...

We present semiparametric spectral modeling of the complete larval Drosophila mushroom body connectome. Motivated by a thorough exploratory data analysis of the network via Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) in the adjacency spectral embedding (ASE) representation space, we introduce the latent structure model (LSM) for network modeling and inference. LSM is a generalization of the stochastic bloc...

The HMM (Hidden Markov Model) is a probabilistic model of the joint probability of a collection of random variables with both observations and states. The GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) is a finite mixture probability distribution model. Although the two models have a close relationship, they are always discussed independently and separately. The EM (Expectation-Maximum) algorithm is a general me...

Timbral modeling is fundamental in content based music similarity systems. It is usually achieved by modeling the short term features by a Gaussian Model (GM) or Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). In this article we propose to achieve this goal by using the GMM-supervector approach. This method allows to represent complex statistical models by an Euclidean vector. Experiments performed for the musi...

Gaussian mixture model or Gaussian mixture density model(GMM) uses the likelihood function as a measure of fit. We show that just the same algorithm as the GMM can be derived from a modified objective function of Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) clustering with the regularizer by K-L information, only when the parameter λ equals 2. Although the fixed-point iteration scheme of FCM is similar to that of the G...

While deep neural networks (DNNs) have become the dominant acoustic model (AM) for speech recognition systems, they are still dependent on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) for alignments both for supervised training and for context dependent (CD) tree building. Here we explore bootstrapping DNN AM training without GMM AMs and show that CD trees can be built with DNN alignments which are better ma...

In this paper, we demonstrate how the differential Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) may be used for visual tracking in synergy with Gaussian mixtures models (GMM). According to our model, motion between adjacent frames results in variations of the mixing proportions of the Gaussian components representing the object to be tracked. These variations are computed in closed form by minimizing the diffe...

This study proposes an acoustic model adaptation scheme to improve speech recognition in severely adverse environments utilizing untranscribed data. In the proposed method, a clean GMM is estimated from clean training data, and a noisecorrupted GMM is obtained by MAP adaptation over the adaptation data. The Gaussian component of the adapted HMMs is obtained using the transform of the most simil...
