无限因子分解的贝叶斯方法综述AI 解读

Defining the number of latent factors has been one of the most challenging problems in factor analysis. Infinite factor models offer a solution to this problem by applying increasing shrinkage on the columns of factor loading matrices, thus penalising increasing factor dimensionality. The adaptive MCMC algorithms used for inference in such models allow to defer the dimension of the latent factor space automatically based on the data. This paper presents an overview of…

自动推断聚类数与因子数的动态有限因子分析混合模型AI 解读

Mixtures of factor analysers (MFA) models represent a popular tool for finding structure in data, particularly high-dimensional data. While in most applications the number of clusters, and especially the number of latent factors within clusters, is mostly fixed in advance, in the recent literature models with automatic inference on both the number of clusters and latent factors have been introduced. The automatic inference is usually done by assigning a nonparametric prior…
