arXiv:2509.22879v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture models, such as Gaussian mixture models, are widely used in machine learning to represent complex data distributions. A key challenge, especially in high-dimensional settings, is to determine the mixture order and estimate the mixture parameters. We study the problem of approximating a target measure, available only through finitely many of its moments, by a mixture of distributions from a parametric family (e.g., Gaussian, exponential, Poisson), with approximation quality measured by the 2-Wasserstein or the total variation dis
This research addresses a fundamental challenge in machine learning, offering a novel mathematical approach to improve mixture model estimation, which is critical as AI models become more complex and data-driven.
Improved mixture model estimation can lead to more accurate and robust AI models, particularly in high-dimensional data settings, impacting various applications from predictive analytics to generative AI.
The proposed semidefinite programming approach provides a more rigorous and potentially more effective method for approximating complex data distributions, enhancing the foundational capabilities of machine learning systems.
