Illustrating EM for GMMs and HMMs

I recently gave a talk on EM for GMMs and HMMs at EPFL and published the slides here. For the sake of the presentation, I built an interactive web application using Dash, Plotly, scikit-learn, open-cv and hmm-learn. In the app, I included:

• GMM generated data exploration
• K-Means vs. GMMs performance on overlapping clusters
• Fitting EM on GMM data
• EM-GMM for gender detection
• Vector Quantization with k-Means
• Background substraction with GMMs
• Breast cancer data clustering with GMMs
• AIC-BIC over the number of components
• HMM-GMM data generation
• HMM-GMM training and visualization
• HMM-GMM for spoken digit speech recognition

I summarized the presentation mentioned above on Towards Data Science, right here.
