Hybrid Genetic and Variational Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for Gaussian-Mixture-Model-Based Brain MR Image Segmentation

The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm has been widely applied to the estimation of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) in brain MR image segmentation. However, the EM algorithm is deterministic and intrinsically prone to overfitting the training data and being trapped in local optima. In this paper,...
