New research explores Gaussian Mixture Models via spherical decomposition and statistical mechanics

Two new research papers explore Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) from different analytical perspectives. The first paper introduces a method using spherical radial decomposition to represent GMM probability functions as integrals over the Euclidean sphere, establishing conditions for differentiability and providing gradient representations. The second paper applies statistical mechanics to GMMs and non-parametric maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE), offering improved stability guarantees and insights into the relationship between NPMLE and concepts like chaos in random energy landscapes.
