Aggregation of probabilistic PCA mixtures with a variational-Bayes technique over parameters
Résumé
This paper proposes a solution to the problem of aggre- gating versatile probabilistic models, namely mixtures of probabilistic principal component analyzers. These models are a powerful generative form for capturing high-dimensional, non Gaussian, data. They simulta- neously perform mixture adjustment and dimensional- ity reduction. We demonstrate how such models may be advantageously aggregated by accessing mixture pa- rameters only, rather than original data. Aggregation is carried out through Bayesian estimation with a specific prior and an original variational scheme. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposal.
