Part IX The EM algorithm - Machine Learning.
The well-known expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular method and has been widely used to solve system identification and parameter estimation problems. However, the conventional EM algorithm cannot exploit the sparsity. On the other hand, in gene regulatory network inference problems, the parameters to be estimated often exhibit sparse structure. In this paper, a regularized.
For example, MAP estimation has been applied to image processing in computer vision (17, 11), protein design and protein side-chain prediction problems (17, 11), and natural lan- guage processing (7).
Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) Estimation; andvi)Minimax estimation. We discuss the problem of identifying the parameters and states of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) including ARMA, state-space, and nite-state dynamical systems (Markov Chains). Time permitting, we discussi)the Kalman Filter;ii)the BCJR algorithm and Baum-Welsh algorithms for MAP.

Expectation-maximization (EM) The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is an iterative method for finding maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates of parameters in statistical models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. Expectation Maximization (EM) is perhaps most often used algorithm for unsupervised learning.

The ordinary EM algorithm will result when has a free form in which case will be updated to be, where is the current estimate of. The. Unlike maximum likelihood estimation, MAP estimation is not invariant under reparametrisations of the model. This is because MAP estimation is sensitive to probability density which changes nonuniformly if the parameter space is changed nonlinearly. MAP.
