Hi Kyle, We use binary features for computer vision and speech recognition. The Bernoulli mixture model is the basic workhorse for performing classification and learning mid-level features. We've done preliminary work on using it to build multi-layered networks. It's been used by others in a de

This sounds interesting - what do you normally use it for? Do you have any references for papers to look at? On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 12:44 PM, Mark Stoehr wrote: > Hi scikit-learn, > > Myself and a colleague put together an implementation of the EM algorithm > for mixtures of multivariate Bernoul

[Scikit-learn-general] Multivariate Bernoulli EM

2014-08-27 Thread Mark Stoehr
Hi scikit-learn, Myself and a colleague put together an implementation of the EM algorithm for mixtures of multivariate Bernoulli vectors (the algorithm in Chris Bishop's "Pattern Recognition") which is useful for classification and clustering of binary data. We have based the implementation on t
