The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular tool in statistical estimation problems involving incomplete data or in problems which can be posed in a similar form, suc...
I present an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for principal component analysis (PCA). The algorithm allows a few eigenvectors and eigenvalues to be extracted from large col...
Causal independence modelling is a well-known method both for reducing the size of probability tables and for explaining the underlying mechanisms in Bayesian networks. In this pap...
Learning with hidden variables is a central challenge in probabilistic graphical models that has important implications for many real-life problems. The classical approach is usin...
In this contribution, new online EM algorithms are proposed to perform inference in general hidden Markov models. These algorithms update the parameter at some deterministic times ...
