TLDR
In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.
Abstract
The problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion. These terms are a valid large-sample criterion beyond the Bayesian context, since they do not depend on the a priori distribution.

Bayesian interpolation

TL;DR: The Bayesian approach to regularization and model-comparison is demonstrated by studying the inference problem of interpolating noisy data by examining the posterior probability distribution of regularizing constants and noise levels.

Model-Based Clustering, Discriminant Analysis, and Density Estimation

TL;DR: This work reviews a general methodology for model-based clustering that provides a principled statistical approach to important practical questions that arise in cluster analysis, such as how many clusters are there, which clustering method should be used, and how should outliers be handled.

Bayesian Model Averaging: A Tutorial

TL;DR: Bayesian model averaging (BMA) provides a coherent mechanism for ac- counting for this model uncertainty and provides improved out-of- sample predictive performance.

Model Selection and Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC): The General Theory and Its Analytical Extensions.

TL;DR: In this article, the entropy-based information criterion (AIC) has been extended in two ways without violating Akaike's main principles: CAIC and CAICF, which make AIC asymptotically consistent and penalize overparameterization more stringently.

Semi-Supervised Learning

TL;DR: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) as discussed by the authors is the middle ground between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised training (where no label data are given).
