This paper 1 proposes a technique for simplifying a given Gaussian mixture model, i.e. reformulating the density in a more parcimonious manner, if possible (less Gaussian componen...
Mixtures of Gaussians are among the most fundamental and widely used statistical models. Current techniques for learning such mixtures from data are local search heuristics with w...
We describe an acoustic modeling approach in which all phonetic states share a common Gaussian Mixture Model structure, and the means and mixture weights vary in a subspace of the...

Abstract. Bayesian approaches to density estimation and clustering using mixture distributions allow the automatic determination of the number of components in the mixture. Previou...
