arXiv:2506. 06584v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning, with the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and its popular variant gradient EM being arguably the most widely used algorithms in practice.
arXiv:2509. 22879v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture models, such as Gaussian mixture models, are widely used in machine learning to represent complex data distributions.
The paper studies the numerical solution of the Beurling‑LASSO (BLASSO) for estimating Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) with unknown numbers of components and unknown diagonal covariance matrices. It introduces a Conic Particle Gradient Descent (CPGD) algorithm that incorporates Riemannian gradient descent to respect the Fisher‑Rao geometry of Gaussian distributions. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees, including exponential local convergence under a non‑degeneracy condition related to component separation, and demonstrate through numerical experiments that CPGD is more robust to overspecification of components than the EM algorithm.
