Backpropagation with a GMM approximation in pytorch
Let suppose that I have a distance $d_{\text{GMM}}$ in the space of Gaussian mixture models (denoted $\text{GMM}(\mathbb{R}^n))$. Given a discrete distribution $\mu_{\text{data}}$ I would like to create a generator $G_\theta$ (small neural network…

I ran into a 2019-Entrance Exam question as follows:
The answer mentioned is (4), but some search on google showed me maybe (1) and (2) is equal to (4). Why would k-means be the algorithm with the highest bias? (Can you please also provide…
