Abstract

This paper proposes an extension of standard mixture stochastic models, by replacing the constant mixture weights with functional weights defined using a classifier. Classifier Weighted Mixtures enable straightforward density evaluation, explicit sampling, and enhanced expressivity in variational estimation problems, without increasing the number of components nor the complexity of the mixture components.
