We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the dist...
We present the CEM (Conditional Expectation Maximization) algorithm as an extension of the EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm to conditional density estimation under missing ...
—This paper addresses the issue of matching rigid and articulated shapes through probabilistic point registration. The problem is recast into a missing data framework where unkno...

We show a close relationship between the Expectation - Maximization (EM) algorithm and direct optimization algorithms such as gradientbased methods for parameter learning. We iden...

The more sophisticated fuzzy clustering algorithms, like the Gustafson–Kessel algorithm [11] and the fuzzy maximum likelihood estimation (FMLE) algorithm [10] offer the possibil...
