Mixed Membership sub-Gaussian Models

ArXi:2604.22633v1 Announce Type: cross The Gaussian mixture model is widely used in unsupervised learning, owing to its simplicity and interpretability. However, a fundamental limitation of the classical Gaussian mixture model is that it forces each observation to belong to exactly one component. In many practical applications, such as genetics, social network analysis, and text mining, an observation may naturally belong to multiple components or exhibit partial membership in several latent components.
