Capturing dependencies in images in an unsupervised manner is important for many image processing applications. We propose a new method for capturing nonlinear dependencies in ima...
Abstract. This paper elaborates on an efficient approach for clustering discrete data by incrementally building multinomial mixture models through likelihood maximization using the...
Background: During the most recent decade many Bayesian statistical models and software for answering questions related to the genetic structure underlying population samples have...
This paper shows that the accuracy of learned text classifiers can be improved by augmenting a small number of labeled training documents with a large pool of unlabeled documents. ...

We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
