Improved Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for Unknown Reverberant Audio-Source Separation

Multichannel Linear Prediction for Blind Reverberant Audio Source Separation

A class of methods based on multichannel linear prediction (MCLP) can achieve effective blind dereverberation of a source, when the source is observed with a microphone array. We propose an inventive use of MCLP as a pre-processing step for blind source separation with a microphone array. We show theoretically that, under certain assumptions, such pre-processing reduces the original blind rever...

Expectation Maximization Deconvolution Algorithm

In this paper, we use a general mathematical and experimental methodology to analyze image deconvolution. The main procedure is to use an example image convolving it with a know Gaussian point spread function and then develop algorithms to recover the image. Observe the deconvolution process by adding Gaussian and Poisson noise at different signal to noise ratios. In addition, we will describe ...

The Expectation Maximization Algorithm

This note represents my attempt at explaining the EM algorithm (Hartley, 1958; Dempster et al., 1977; McLachlan and Krishnan, 1997). This is just a slight variation on TomMinka’s tutorial (Minka, 1998), perhaps a little easier (or perhaps not). It includes a graphical example to provide some intuition. 1 Intuitive Explanation of EM EM is an iterative optimizationmethod to estimate some unknown ...
