The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm has been predominantly used to approximate the maximum likelihood estimation of the location-scale Gaussian mixtures. However, when the models are over-specified, namely, the chosen number of…

The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is a well-known iterative method for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data. Despite its numerous advantages, a main drawback of the EM algorithm is its frequently observed…

Extremum seeking control (ESC) is a classical adaptive control method for steady-state optimization, purely based on output feedback. It is well known that the extremum seeking control loop, under certain mild conditions on the controller,…

Adversarial learning is critical for enhancing model robustness, aiming to defend against adversarial attacks that jeopardize machine learning systems. Traditional methods often lack efficient mechanisms to explore diverse adversarial…

Modern machine learning uses more and more advanced optimization techniques to find optimal hyper parameters. Whenever the objective function is non-convex, non continuous and with potentially multiple local minima, standard gradient…

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) provide a powerful framework for modeling dynamic systems arising in a wide range of scientific domains. However, most existing ODE methods focus on a single system, and do not adequately address the…
