Identifying Physical Structures in Our Galaxy with Gaussian Mixture Models: An Unsupervised Machine Learning Technique

We explore the potential of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), an unsupervised machine-learning method, to identify coherent physical structures in the interstellar medium. The implementation we present can be used on any kind of spatially and spectrally resolved data set. We provide a step-by-step g...
