Extended EM for Planar Approximation of 3D Data
– The paper deals with fitting of planar patches to 3D laser range data obtained by a mobile robot. The number and the initial position of the patches are unknown, hence their es...

Latent Tree Models and Approximate Inference in Bayesian Networks
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...

A Search Algorithm for Latent Variable Models with Unbounded Domains
This paper concerns learning and prediction with probabilistic models where the domain sizes of latent variables have no a priori upper-bound. Current approaches represent prior d...

On Convergence Problems of the EM Algorithm for Finite Gaussian Mixtures
Efficient probability density function estimation is of primary interest in statistics. A popular approach for achieving this is the use of finite Gaussian mixture models. Based on...
