Abstract

Recently, a new Rival Penalized Expectation Maximization (RPEM) algorithm has been proposed for estimating the parameters of the normal mixture model, meanwhile determining the number of classes automatically. The RPEM is an adaptive algorithm utilizing a small constant learning rate. To speed up its convergence speed, this paper proposes a new method to dynamically adjust the learning rate of the RPEM algorithm on line. The numerical results have shown the promising results of the proposed algorithm.
