In a bivariate setting, we consider the problem of detecting a sparse contamination or mixture component, where the effect manifests itself as a positive dependence between the variables, which are otherwise independent in the main…
Learning a distribution conditional on a set of discrete-valued features is a commonly encountered task. This becomes more challenging with a high-dimensional feature set when there is the possibility of interaction between the features. In…
Gaussian mixtures are a common density representation in nonlinear, non-Gaussian Bayesian state estimation. Selecting an appropriate number of Gaussian components, however, is difficult as one has to trade of computational complexity…
We examine rules for predicting whether a point in $\mathbb{R}$ generated from a 50-50 mixture of two different probability distributions came from one distribution or the other, given limited (or no) information on the two distributions,…
We study the problem of learning Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and ask: which structural properties govern their sample complexity? Prior work has largely tied this complexity to the minimum pairwise separation between components, but we…
