The Gaussian mixture model is a powerful statistical tool in data modeling and analysis. Generally, the EM algorithm is utilized to learn the parameters of the Gaussian mixture. Ho...
Abstract. As heterogeneous computing platforms become more prevalent, the programmer must account for complex memory hierarchies in addition to the difficulties of parallel program...

In many applied problems in the context of pattern recognition, the data often involve highly asymmetric observations. Normal mixture models tend to overfit when additional compone...
This work studies the mGA operator (Micro Genetic Algorithm), that has been proposed in literature as a “local search” operator for optimization with Genetic Algorithm. A new ...
This paper presents a theoretical definition for designing EDAs called Elitist Convergent Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (ECEDA), and a practical implementation: the Boltzm...
