Under the Bayesian Ying-Yang (BYY) harmony learning theory, a harmony function has been developed on a BI-directional architecture of the BYY system for Gaussian mixture with an important feature that, via its maximization through a general gradient rule, a model selection can be made automatically during parameter learning on a set of sample data from a Gaussian mixture. This paper further proposes the conjugate and natural gradient rules to efficiently implement the maximization of the harmony function, i.e. the BYY harmony learning, on Gaussian mixture. It is demonstrated by simulation experiments that these two new gradient rules not only work well, but also converge more quickly than the general gradient ones.
