Soft-Constrained Nonparametric Density Estimation with Artificial Neural Networks

The estimation of probability density functions (pdf) from unlabeled data samples is a relevant (and, still open) issue in pattern recognition and machine learning. Statistical parametric and nonparametric approaches present severe drawbacks. Only a few i
