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.

The paper introduces a framework to tackle modality imbalance in multimodal learning by focusing on sample-level variations. It defines a Modality Gap metric to measure prediction discrepancies, models the resulting bimodal distribution with a Gaussian Mixture Model, and uses Bayesian probabilities for soft separation of balanced and imbalanced samples. A two‑stage training process—Warm‑up and Adaptive Training—reallocates loss weights based on the GMM, strengthening alignment for imbalanced samples while favoring fusion for balanced ones, and shows superior performance over existing baselines.

The paper introduces an adaptive fitting procedure for mixtures of product distributions in Gaussian regression with a spike‑and‑slab prior, directly minimizing reverse Kullback‑Leibler divergence on inclusion indicators and active coefficients. This method jointly refines component parameters and weights as the mixture grows, avoiding extra divergence penalties on unused latent coefficients. Empirical results on 250 simulated datasets show that mixtures reduce errors in inclusion probabilities, grouped support probabilities, and coefficient covariance compared to multistart mean‑field approaches, and that direct joint refinement outperforms augmented or restricted refinement at fixed mixture size.
