This algorithm implements the Maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) estimation for a GMM

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

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 given set of feature vectors and a Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), this algorithm implements the Maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) estimation (adapting only the means).

Details of MAP estimation can be found in [Reynolds2000]. A very good description on how the MAP estimation works can be found in the Mathematical Monks's YouTube channel.z

This algorithm relies on the Bob library.

The inputs are:

  • features: A set of floating point vectors as a two-dimensional array (64 bits) of a client. The number of rows correspond to the number of samples, and the number of columns to the dimensionality of the samples.
  • ubm: A GMM corresponding to the Universal Background Model.
  • id: Client (class/subject) identifier as an unsigned 64 bits integer.

The output, model, is the adapted GMM (MAP adaptation).
