| Research Abstract |
A lot of learning machines such as artificial neural networks, normal mixtures, hidden Markov models, Boltzmann machines, Bayesian networks, reduced rank regressions are nonidentifiable and singular learning machines. They have degenerate Fisher Information matrices resulting that the conventional statistical learning theory does not hold. In order to establish the new learning theory, we need algebraic geometrical method to treat the likelihood functions. In this research, we have the following results. (1) The fundamental form of the likelihood function were introduced based on desingularization problem. (2) The asymptotic form of the marginal likelihood were derived based on the zeta function of learning theory. (3) The asymptotic behavior of the variational Bayes or the mean field approximation were obtained. (4) The asymptotic behavior of the empirical Bayes appriximation were obtained. These are the mathematical foundation originally established in this research.
