Contrasts for blind partial extraction of instantaneous mixtures of sources
نویسنده
چکیده
A class of criteria for extracting a few number of most interesting sources from their linear instantaneous mixtures is proposed and proved to have the contrast property. Further, solutions which correspond to sources are shown to be local maxima points of the criteria.

Blind Partial Separation of Instantaneous Mixtures of Sources
We introduce a general criterion for blindly extracting a subset of sources in instantaneous mixtures. We derive the corresponding estimation equations and generalize them based on arbitrary nonlinear separating functions. A quasi-Newton algorithm for minimizing the criterion is presented, which reduces to the FastICA algorithm in the case when only one source is extracted. The asymptotic distr...
متن کاملBlind partial separation of underdetermined convolutive mixtures of complex sources based on differential normalized kurtosis
This paper concerns the blind separation of P complex convolutive mixtures of N statistically independent complex sources, with underdetermined or noisy mixtures i.e. P < N . Our approach exploits the assumed distinct statistical properties of the sources: P sources are non-stationary, while the others are stationary. Our method achieves the ”partial separation” of the P non-stationary sources....
متن کاملRelaxing the WDO Assumption in Blind Extraction of Speakers from Speech Mixtures
The time-frequency masking approach in blind speech extraction consists of two main steps: feature clustering in a space spanned over delay-time and attenuation rate, and spectrogram masking in order to reconstruct the sources. Usually a binary mask is generated under the strong W-disjoint orthogonal (WDO) assumption (disjoint orthogonal representations in the frequency domain). In practice, th...
متن کاملIRWIN AND JOAN JACOBS CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Blind Separation of Time/Position Varying Mixtures
We address the fascinating open engineering problem of blindly separating time/position varying mixtures, and attempt to separate the sources from such mixtures without having prior information about the sources or the mixing system. Unlike studies concerning instantaneous or convolutive mixtures, we assume that the mixing system (medium) is changing in time/position. Attempts to solve this pro...
متن کاملUnderdetermined blind separation of sparse sources with instantaneous and convolutive mixtures
We consider the underdetermined blind source separation problem with linear instantaneous and convolutive mixtures when the input signals are sparse, or have been rendered sparse. In the underdetermined case the problem requires solving three subproblems: detecting the number of sources, estimating the mixing matrix, and finding an adequate inversion strategy to obtain the sources. This paper s...
