Using virtual machines as a resource provisioning mechanism offers multiple benefits, most recently exploited by “infrastructure-as-a-service” clouds, but also poses several...
If all features causing heterogeneity were observed, a mixture of experts approach (Jacobs et al., 1991) is likely to be superior to using a single model. When unobserved or very n...
— Since the Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) have been introduced, several single model based EDAs and mixture model based EDAs have been developed. Take Gaussian mod...
Abstract. We present an approach for blindly decomposing an observed random vector x into f(As) where f is a diagonal function i.e. f = f1 × . . . × fm with one-dimensional funct...
Variational Bayesian Expectation-Maximization (VBEM), an approximate inference method for probabilistic models based on factorizing over latent variables and model parameters, has ...
