Posterior Regularization on Bayesian Hierarchical Mixture Clustering
Bayesian hierarchical mixture clustering (BHMC) improves traditionalBayesian hierarchical clustering by replacing conventional Gaussian-to-Gaussian kernels with a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Mixture Model(HDPMM) for parent-to-child diffusion in the generative process. However,BHMC may produce trees with high nodal variance, indicating weak separation between nodes at higher levels. To address this issue, we employ Posterior Regularization, which imposes max-margin constraints on nodes at every level to enhance cluster separation. We illustrate how to apply PR toBHMC and demonstrate its effectiveness in improving the BHMC model.

Tree-Guided MCMC Inference for Normalized Random Measure Mixture Models
Normalized random measures (NRMs) provide a broad class of discrete random measures that are often used as priors for Bayesian nonparametric models. Dirichlet process is a well-known example of NRMs. Most of posterior in…
ClusteringEntropy regularization in probabilistic clustering
Bayesian nonparametric mixture models are widely used to cluster observations. However, one major drawback of the approach is that the estimated partition often presents unbalanced clusters' frequencies with only a few d…
ClusteringPosterior Consistency of the Silverman g-prior in Bayesian Model Choice
Kernel supervised learning methods can be unified by utilizing the tools from regularization theory. The duality between regularization and prior leads to interpreting regularization methods in terms of maximum a posteri…
Tree-Structured Stick Breaking for Hierarchical Data
Many data are naturally modeled by an unobserved hierarchical structure. In this paper we propose a flexible nonparametric prior over unknown data hierarchies. The approach uses nested stick-breaking processes to allow f…
