Having different results every run with GMM Classifier

问题

I'm currently doing a speech recognition and machine learning related project. I have two classes now, and I create two GMM classifiers for each class, for labels 'happy' and 'sad'

I want to train GMM classifiers with MFCC vectors.

I am using two GMM classifiers for each label. (Previously it was GMM per file):

But every time I run the script I am having different results. What might be the cause for that with same test and train samples?

In the outputs below please note that I have 10 test samples and each line corresponds the results of the ordered test samples

Code:

classifiers = {'happy':[],'sad':[]}
probability = {'happy':0,'sad':0}

def createGMMClassifiers():
    for name, data in training.iteritems():
        #For every class: In our case it is two, happy and sad
        classifier = mixture.GMM(n_components = n_classes,n_iter=50)
        #two classifiers.
        for mfcc in data:
            classifier.fit(mfcc)
        addClassifier(name, classifier)
    for testData in testing['happy']:
        classify(testData)

def addClassifier(name,classifier):
    classifiers[name]=classifier

def classify(testMFCC):
    for name, classifier in classifiers.iteritems():
        prediction = classifier.predict_proba(testMFCC)
        for f, s in prediction:
            probability[name]+=f
    print 'happy ',probability['happy'],'sad ',probability['sad']

Sample Output 1:

happy  154.300420496 sad  152.808941585

scikit-learn uses random initializer. If you want reproducable results, you can set random_state argument

random_state: RandomState or an int seed (None by default)

for name, data in training.iteritems():

This is not correct since you train only on a last sample. You need to concatenate features per label into a single array before you run fit. You can use np.concatenate for that.
