GPclust
Clustering time series using Gaussian processes and variational Bayes.
User guide and tutorials are available via the included notebooks.
Currently implemented models are
- MOG - Mixture of Gaussians
- MOHGP - Mixtures of Hierarchical Gaussian processes
- OMGP - Overlapping mixtures of Gaussian processes
Citation
The underlying algorithm is based on the 2012 NIPS paper:

The code also implements clustering of Hierachical Gaussian Processes using that inference framework, detailed in the two following works:

Additionally Overlapping Mixtures of Gaussian Processes model is implemented (using the variational methods described in the above), which was published in this paper:

Dependencies
This work depends on the GPy project, as well as the numpy/scipy stack. matplotlib is optional for plotting.
I've tested the demos with GPy v0.8, but it should work with later versions also.
