Non-parametric clustering over user features and latent behavioral functions with dual-view mixture models

Notes

• DP-GMM: default
• fixed-GMM: set alpha=0 and dont sample it
• single: use sample_z() and do not sample feature view

Multi DP-GMM is a double dirichlet process that simultaneously does:

• Cluster users with respect to their attributes.
• Cluster users with respect to their behaviors.

Inference is done with Monte Carlo methods: Gibbs Sampling and Adaptive Rejection Sampling.
