Outline • Background & Status • RS-EM • Application
Background: EM algorithm EM algorithm -> {α, Θ} • E-step (Expectation): • M-step (Maximization): • Iterate E,M step until convergence α- mixing coefficient Θ- model parameters, eg. {μ,∑}
Local Maxima Let’s describe it as mountain climbing……
2160m 3099m 600km
Initialization Effect Initialization and Result(1) Initialization and Result(2)
Sub-optimal Example The situation of local maxima trap
Status • Standard EM for Mixture Models(1977) • Deterministic Annealing EM (DAEM) (1998) • Split-Merge EM (SMEM) (2000) • Greedy EM (2002) • RS-EM coming…
Outline Background & Status RS-EM (Random Swap) Application
RSEM: Motivations Random manner Prevent from staying near the unstable or hyperbolic fixed points of EM. Prevent from its stable fixed points corresponding to insignificant local maxima of the likelihood function Avoid the slow convergence of EM algorithm Less sensitive to its initialization
Formulas SMEM Greedy EM RSEM
Random Swap EM After EM After Swap After EM
Outline Background & Status RS-EM Application
Application • Image Segmentation • Color Quantization • Image Retrieval • ……
Conclusion • Introduce Randomization into algorithm • Performs better • Without heavy time complexity • Wider applications • Thanks!☺
