This involves learning the parameters of a Gaussian mixture model. Your notebook should produce a visualization of the progress of the algorithm.

| ====Description:==== | ====Description:==== | ||
| + | For this lab, we will be using the Expectation Maximization (EM) method to **learn** the parameters of a Gaussian mixture model. These parameters will reflect cluster structure in the data -- in other words, we will learn probabilistic descriptions of clusters in the data. | ||
| + | For this lab, you will use the Old Faithful dataset, which you can download here: | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/h8b67cg8wff7bg0/old_faithful.mat?dl=0|Old Faithful dataset]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | **The first thing you should is mean-center your data (ie, compute the mean of the data, then subtract that off from each datapoint).** (If you don't do this, you'll get zero probabilities for all of your responsibilities, given the initial conditions discussed below.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The equations for implementing the EM algorithm are given in MLAPP 11.4.2.2 - 11.4.2.3. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The algorithm is: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Compute the responsibilities $r_{ik}$ (Eq. 11.27) | ||
| + | - Update the mixing weights $\pi_k$ (Eq. 11.28) | ||
| + | - Update the covariances $\Sigma_k$ (Eq. 11.32) | ||
| + | - Update the means $\mu_k$ (Eq. 11.31) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, repeat until convergence. Note that if you change the order of operations, you may get slightly difference convergences than the reference image. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since the EM algorithm is deterministic, and since precise initial conditions for your algorithm are given below, the progress of your algorithm should closely match the reference image shown above. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For your visualization, please print out at least nine plots. These should color each datapoint using $r_{ik}$, and they should plot the means and covariances of the Gaussians. See the hints section for how to plot an ellipse representing the 95% confidence interval of a Gaussian, given an arbitrary covariance matrix. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **Note: To help our TA better grade your notebook, you should use the following initial parameters:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code python> | ||
| + | |||
| + | # the Gaussian means (as column vectors -- ie, the mean for Gaussian 0 is mus[:,0] | ||
| + | mus = np.asarray( [[-1.17288986, -0.11642103], | ||
| + | [-0.16526981, 0.70142713]]) | ||
| + | |||
| + | # the Gaussian covariance matrices | ||
| + | covs = list() | ||
| + | covs.append( | ||
| + | np.asarray([[ 0.74072815, 0.09252716], | ||
| + | [ 0.09252716, 0.5966275 ]]) ) | ||
| + | covs.append( | ||
| + | np.asarray([[ 0.39312776, -0.46488887], | ||
| + | [-0.46488887, 1.64990767]]) ) | ||
| + | |||
| + | # The Gaussian mixing weights | ||
| + | mws = [ 0.68618439, 0.31381561 ] # called alpha in the slides | ||

| + | |||
| + | # scatters a set of points; check out the "c" keyword argument to change color, and the "s" arg to change the size | ||
| + | plt.scatter | ||
| + | plt.xlim # sets the range of values for the x axis | ||
| + | plt.ylim # sets the range of values for the y axis | ||
| + | |||
| + | # to check the shape of a vector, use the .shape member | ||
| + | foo = np.random.randn( 100, 200 ) | ||
| + | foo.shape # an array with values (100,200) | ||
| + | |||
| + | # to transpose a vector, you can use the .T operator | ||
| + | foo = np.atleast_2d( [42, 43] ) # this is a row vector | ||
| + | foo.T # this is a column vector | ||
| + | |||
| + | import numpy as np | ||
