The parameters in the model are derived only by the training samples in one class without taking into account the effect of sample distributions of other classes, hence, its recognition accuracy is not ideal sometimes. This paper introduces an approach for estimating the parameters in GMM in a supervising way.The Supervised Learning Gaussian Mixture Model (SLGMM) improves the recognition accuracy of the GMM. An experimental example has shown its effectiveness. The experimental results have shown that the recognition accuracy derived by the approach is higher than those obtained by the Vector Quantization (VQ) approach, the Radial Basis Function (RBF) network model, the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) approach and the GMM. In addition, the training time of the approach is less than that of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP).展开更多

This provides a research branch to effectively combine unlabeled and labeled data to infer the labels of unlabeled ones, that is, to develop transductive learning. In this article, based on Pattern classification via single sphere （SSPC）, which seeks a hypersphere to separate data with the maximum separation ratio, a progressive transductive pattern classification method via single sphere （PTSSPC） is proposed to construct the classifier using both the labeled and unlabeled data. PTSSPC utilize the additional information of the unlabeled samples and obtain better classification performance than SSPC when insufficient labeled data information is available. Experiment results show the algorithm can yields better performance.展开更多
