Direct Fitting of Gaussian Mixture Models
When fitting Gaussian Mixture Models to 3D geometry, the model is typically fit to point clouds, even when the shapes were obtained as 3D meshes. Here we present a formulation for fitting Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) directly to a triangular mesh instead of using points sampled from its surface. Part of this work analyzes a general formulation for evaluating likelihood of geometric objects. This modification enables fitting higher-quality GMMs under a wider range of initialization conditions. Additionally, models obtained from this fitting method are shown to produce an improvement in 3D registration for both meshes and RGB-D frames. This result is general and applicable to arbitrary geometric objects, including representing uncertainty from sensor measurements.

This paper proposes a novel method for deep learning based on the analytical convolution of multidimensional Gaussian mixtures. In contrast to tensors, these do not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and allow for a…
The Parametric Stability of Well-separated Spherical Gaussian Mixtures
We quantify the parameter stability of a spherical Gaussian Mixture Model (sGMM) under small perturbations in distribution space. Namely, we derive the first explicit bound to show that for a mixture of spherical Gaussia…
Risk Bounds for Over-parameterized Maximum Margin Classification on Sub-Gaussian Mixtures
Modern machine learning systems such as deep neural networks are often highly over-parameterized so that they can fit the noisy training data exactly, yet they can still achieve small test errors in practice. In this pap…
