Mixing Multiple Translation Models in Statistical Machine Translation
Statistical machine translation is often faced with the problem of combining training data from many diverse sources into a single translation model which then has to translate se...

Multi-Instance Mixture Models
Multi-instance (MI) learning is a variant of supervised learning where labeled examples consist of bags (i.e. multi-sets) of feature vectors instead of just a single feature vecto...

Modeling score distributions in information retrieval
We review the history of modeling score distributions, focusing on the mixture of normal-exponential by investigating the theoretical as well as the empirical evidence supporting i...

Genotype calling in tetraploid species from bi-allelic marker data using mixture models
Background: Automated genotype calling in tetraploid species was until recently not possible, which hampered genetic analysis. Modern genotyping assays often produce two signals, ...

Dirichlet Mixture Models of neural net posteriors for HMM-based speech recognition
In this paper, we present a novel technique for modeling the posterior probability estimates obtained from a neural network directly in the HMM framework using the Dirichlet Mixtu...

Simplifying mixture models through function approximation
Finite mixture model is a powerful tool in many statistical learning problems. In this paper, we propose a general, structure-preserving approach to reduce its model complexity, w...

Spatially Adaptive Mixture Modeling for Analysis of fMRI Time Series
Within-subject analysis in fMRI essentially addresses two problems, the detection of brain regions eliciting evoked activity and the estimation of the underlying dynamics. In [1, 2...

Slice sampling mixture models
We propose a more efficient version of the slice sampler for Dirichlet process mixture models described by Walker (2007). This sampler allows the fitting of infinite mixture mod...

Exponential families and simplification of mixture models
Presentation of the exponential families, of the mixtures of such distributions and how to learn it. We then present algorithms to simplify mixture model, using Kullback-Leibler di...
