چکیده

We present a method for incrementally learning mixture models that avoids the necessity to keep all data points around. It contains a single user-settable parameter that controls via a novel statistical criterion the trade-off between the number of mixture components and the accuracy of representing the data. A key idea is that each component of the (non-overfitting) mixture is in turn represented by an underlying mixture that represents the data very precisely (without regards to overfitting); this allows the model to be refined without sacrificing accuracy.

Recognizing 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....

Incremental learning with Gaussian mixture models

In this paper we propose a new incremental estimation of Gaussian mixture models which can be used for applications of online learning. Our approach allows for adding new samples incrementally as well as removing parts of the mixture by the process of unlearning. Low complexity of the mixtures is maintained through a novel compression algorithm. In contrast to the existing approaches, our appro...

Bayesian Filtering with Online Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models

In this paper we present a novel non-parametric approach to Bayesian filtering, where the prediction and observation models are learned in an online fashion. Our approach is able to handle multimodal distributions over both models by employing a mixture model representation with Gaussian Processes (GP) based components. To cope with the increasing complexity of the estimation process, we explor...

IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL

  Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we have learned Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model have estimated by EM-algorithm.   In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image is made by Bayes rule. In fact, ...
