Clustering Multivariate Normal Distributions
In this paper, we consider the task of clustering multivariate normal distributions with respect to the relative entropy into a prescribed number, k, of clusters using a generalization of Lloyd’s k-means algorithm [1]. We revisit this information-theoretic clustering problem under the auspices of mixed-type Bregman divergences, and show that the approach of Davis and Dhillon [2] (NIPS*06) can a...
متن کاملA note on inconsistent families of discrete multivariate distributions
We construct a d-dimensional discrete multivariate distribution for which any proper subset of its components belongs to a specific family of distributions. However, the joint d-dimensional distribution fails to belong to that family and in other words, it is ‘inconsistent’ with the distribution of these subsets. We also address preservation of this ‘inconsistency’ property for the symmetric Bi...
متن کاملA Note on the Article ’ Inference for multivariate normal mixtures ’
Gaussian mixture models provide a flexible tool for data modeling, clustering and classification. We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a multivariate Gaussian mixture with K components by maximizing the likelihood function. This approach has a theoretical drawback: the likelihood function is unbounded, and the interesting maxima are local maxima in the interior of the paramet...
متن کاملThe entropic centers of multivariate normal distributions
In this paper, we seek for a single best representative of a set of statistical multivariate normal distributions. To define the “best” center, we consider either minimizing the average or the maximum relative entropy of the center to the given set of normal distributions. Since the relative entropy is an asymmetric divergence, this yields the notion of leftand right-sided, and symmetrized entr...
متن کاملthe effect of consciousness raising (c-r) on the reduction of translational errors: a case study
در دوره های آموزش ترجمه استادان بیشتر سعی دارند دانشجویان را با انواع متون آشنا سازند، درحالی که کمتر به خطاهای مکرر آنان در متن ترجمه شده می پردازند. اهمیت تحقیق حاضر مبنی بر ارتکاب مکرر خطاهای ترجمانی حتی بعد از گذراندن دوره های تخصصی ترجمه از سوی دانشجویان است. هدف از آن تاکید بر خطاهای رایج میان دانشجویان مترجمی و کاهش این خطاها با افزایش آگاهی و هوشیاری دانشجویان از بروز آنها است.از آنجا ک...
