This version of the UBM training, normalize the data before the kmeans training.

This algorithm is a legacy one. The API has changed since its implementation. New versions and forks will need to be updated.

Algorithms have at least one input and one output. All algorithm endpoints are organized in groups. Groups are used by the platform to indicate which inputs and outputs are synchronized together. The first group is automatically synchronized with the channel defined by the block in which the algorithm is deployed.

For a Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), this algorithm implements the Universal Background Model (UBM) training described in [Reynolds2000].

First, this algorithm estimates the means, diagonal covariance matrix and the weights of each gaussian component using the KMeans clustering. After, only the means are re-estimated using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator.

This version of the UBM training normalizes the input data before the kmeans training.

This algorithm relies on the Bob library.

The input, features, is a training set of floating point vectors as a two-dimensional array of floats (64 bits), the number of rows corresponding to the number of training samples, and the number of columns to the dimensionality of the training samples. The output, ubm, is the GMM trained using the ML estimator.
