Abstract: Despite the flexibility and popularity of mixture models, their associated parameter spaces are often difficult to represent due to fundamental identification problems. This paper looks at a novel way of representing such a space for general mixtures of exponential families, where the parameters are identifiable, interpretable, and, due to a tractable geometric structure, the space allows fast computational algorithms to be constructed.
