title = "Feature Weighted Rival Penalized EM for Gaussian Mixture Clustering: Automatic Feature and Model Selections in a Single Paradigm",
abstract = "Recently, the Rival Penalized Expectation-Maximization (RPEM) algorithm (Cheung 2004 & 2005) has demonstrated its outstanding capability to perform the model selection automatically in the context of density mixture models. Nevertheless, the RPEM is unable to exclude the irrelevant variables (also called features) from the clustering process, which may degrade the algorithm's performance. In this paper, we adopt the concept of feature salience (Law et al. 2004) as the feature weight to measure the relevance of features to the cluster structure in the subspace, and integrate it into the RPEM algorithm. The proposed algorithm identifies the irrelevant features and estimates the number of clusters automatically and simultaneously in a single learning paradigm. Experiments show the efficacy of the proposed algorithm on both synthetic and benchmark real data sets.",
