High-dimensional clustering is challenging when component distributions are both heavy-tailed and directionally asymmetric. We propose a deep skew-$t$ mixture model (DStMM), a hierarchical factor-analytic mixture based on the generalised-hyperbolic skew-$t$ normal mean--variance representation. A shared inverse-gamma m...

The adaptive classification-risk design attains lower mean error than this Fisher comparator across the labeling budgets considered, although it does not uniformly outperform entropy or margin sampling and differences among the targeted strategies become small as the labeling budget increases.

Numerical studies and a semi-synthetic analysis based on hard-drive failure data illustrate potential reductions in expected error rate and improvements in decision-boundary estimation from modelling feature-dependent label missingness.

This work studies a different regime in which the probability of label missingness depends on posterior classification uncertainty, so that the observed missing-label indicators can themselves carry information about the Bayes decision boundary.

A classification-weighted generalized-eigenvalue criterion is developed under which informative partial classification may have smaller asymptotic classification risk without globally dominating complete classification in Fisher information.

Gaussian-mixture calculations and a medical diagnosis example illustrate how uncertainty-dependent labeling mechanisms can improve estimation and classification under a fixed labeling budget.
