具有排斥与吸引原子的贝叶斯混合模型AI 解读

Abstract The study of almost surely discrete random probability measures is an active line of research in Bayesian non-parametrics. The idea of assuming interaction across the atoms of the random probability measure has recently spurred significant interest in the context of Bayesian mixture models. This allows the definition of priors that encourage well-separated and interpretable clusters. In this work, we provide a unified framework for the construction and the Bayesian…

基于汉明距离的类别数据模型聚类AI 解读

A model-based approach is developed for clustering categorical data with no natural ordering. The proposed method exploits the Hamming distance to define a family of probability mass functions to model the data. The elements of this family are then considered as kernels of a finite mixture model with an unknown number of components. Conjugate Bayesian inference has been derived for the parameters of the Hamming distribution model. The mixture is framed in a Bayesian…

无穷远有多远？有限混合模型的贝叶斯非参数视角AI 解读

Mixture models are one of the most widely used statistical tools when dealing with data from heterogeneous populations. Following a Bayesian nonparametric perspective, we introduce a new class of priors: the Normalized Independent Point Process. We investigate the probabilistic properties of this new class and present many special cases. In particular, we provide an explicit formula for the distribution of the implied partition, as well as the posterior characterization of…

用于分组数据聚类的分层归一化完全随机测度AI 解读

In this article, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric model for clustering grouped data. We adopt a hierarchical approach: at the highest level, each group of data is modeled according to a mixture, where the mixing distributions are conditionally independent normalized completely random measures (NormCRMs) centered on the same base measure, which is itself a NormCRM. The discreteness of the shared base measure implies that the processes at the data level share the same…
