A view of the EM algorithm that justifies incremental, sparse, and other variants
The EM algorithm performs maximum likelihood estimation for data in which some variables
are unobserved. We present a function that resembles negative free energy and show that …

Arithmetic coding for data compression
The state of the art in data compression is arithmetic coding, not the better-known Huffman
method. Arithmetic coding gives greater compression, is faster for adaptive models, and …
