The Noisy Expectation Maximization Algorithm
"... � We present a noise-injected version of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm: the Noisy Expectation Maximization (NEM) algorithm. � The NEM theorem shows that additive noise speeds up the average convergence of the EM algorithm to a local maximum of the likelihood surface if a positivity con ..."

The Expectation Maximization Algorithm
, 2002
"... This note represents my attempt at explaining the EM algorithm (Hartley, 1958; Dempster et al., 1977; McLachlan and Krishnan, 1997). This is just a slight variation on Tom Minka's tutorial (Minka, 1998), perhaps a little easier (or perhaps not). It includes a graphical example to provide some i ..."

Inductive Programming by Expectation Maximization Algorithm
"... This paper proposes an algorithm which can write programs automatically to solve problems. We model the sequence of instructions as a n-gram language model and the sequence is represented by some hidden variables. Expectation maximization algorithm is applied to train the n-gram model and perform pr ..."

Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-Maximization Algorithm
- IEEE Trans. Signal Processing
, 1994
"... The expectation-maximization (EM) method can facilitate maximizing likelihood functions that arise in statistical estimation problems. In the classical EM paradigm, one iteratively maximizes the conditional loglikelihood of a single unobservable complete data space, rather than maximizing the intra ..."

"... We introduce an expectation maximizationtype (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood optimization of conditional densities. It is applicable to hidden variable models where the distributions are from the exponential family. The algorithm can alternatively be viewed as automatic step size selection for ..."

Segmentation of brain MR images through a hidden Markov random field model and the expectation-maximization algorithm
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL. IMAGING
, 2001
"... The finite mixture (FM) model is the most commonly used model for statistical segmentation of brain magnetic resonance (MR) images because of its simple mathematical form and the piecewise constant nature of ideal brain MR images. However, being a histogram-based model, the FM has an intrinsic limi ..."

methods are limited to using MRF as a general prior in an FM model-based approach. To fit the HMRF model, an EM algorithm is used. We show that by incorporating both the HMRF model and the EM algorithm into a HMRF-EM framework, an accurate and robust segmentation can be achieved. More importantly
