For data assumed to come from a finite mixture with an unknown number of components, it has become common to use Dirichlet process mixtures (DPMs) not only for density estimation, but also for inferences about the number of components. The…

We introduce a novel prior distribution for modelling the weights in mixture models based on a generalisation of the Dirichlet distribution, the Selberg Dirichlet distribution. This distribution contains a repulsive term, which naturally…

Semi-supervised clustering is the task of clustering data points into clusters where only a fraction of the points are labelled. The true number of clusters in the data is often unknown and most models require this parameter as an input.…
