Hyperparameter Selection of Infinite Gaussian Mixture Model via Widely Applicable Information Criterion
Takushi Miki, Masahiro Kohjima, Sumio Watanabe (titech) IBISML2011-91
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, nonparametric Bayesian method is applied to wide range of research fields such as natural language processing, ob ject tracking, and recommendation system. Ma jor advantage of this method is that the complexity of the model need not to be explicitly decided and is implicitly controlled by hyperparameters. Although the choice of hyperparameters has a considerable effect to learning results and predictive distribution, the design of hyperparameters is not yet studied. In this paper, authors propose hyperparameter design method based on Widely Applicable Information Criterion(WAIC), which has a theoretical support in general parametric models. Experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed method.
