Uncertainty measure of a mixture-model based pattern classifer

There are provided mechanisms for determining an uncertainty measure of a mixture-model based parametric classifier. A method is performed by a classification device. The method includes obtaining a short-term frequency representation of a multimedia signal. The short-term frequency representation defines an input sequence. The method includes classifying the input sequence to belong to one class of at least two available classes using the parametric classifier. The parametric classifier has been trained with a training sequence. The method includes determining an uncertainty measure of the classified input sequence based on a relation between posterior probabilities of the input sequence and posterior probabilities of the training sequence.
