We consider a problem in Multi-Task Learning (MTL) where multiple linear models are jointly trained on a collection of datasets ("tasks"). A key novelty of our framework is that it allows the sparsity pattern of regression coefficients and…

Finite Gaussian mixture models are widely used for model-based clustering of continuous data. Nevertheless, since the number of model parameters scales quadratically with the number of variables, these models can be easily…
