SMEM Algorithm for Mixture Models
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...

Orientation, Scale, and Discontinuity as Emergent Properties of Illusory Contour Shape
A recent neural model of illusory contour formation is based on a distribution of natural shapes traced by particles moving with constant speed in directions given by Brownian mot...

Batch and On-Line Parameter Estimation of Gaussian Mixtures Based on the Joint Entropy
We describe a new iterative method for parameter estimation of Gaussian mixtures. The new method is based on a framework developed by Kivinen and Warmuth for supervised on-line le...

Modeling Surround Suppression in V1 Neurons with a Statistically Derived Normalization Model
We examine the statistics of natural monochromatic images decomposed using a multi-scale wavelet basis. Although the coefficients of this representation are nearly decorrelated, t...
