Mathematics in independent component analysis

چکیده
to Michaela iv Preface If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it? 1 Imagine you are a robot. Imagine you are a robot visiting a cocktail party — groups of people standing around chatting with each other. Imagine you are a robot trying to understand what those people talk about. You have no problems when facing one of those humans alone. You have built-in text-to-speech and speech-to-text converters. You have syntactic and semantic analyzers. You have a knowledge-base where you put all the information. So you are pretty good at understanding a human, but still — standing around at this cocktail party, you do not understand a thing. There are just too many people talking, too many signals coming at you from too many different directions. You miss a little device that humans often take for granted. Something that we would, for now, like to call an independent component analyzer. Something that this work talks about. What would such an analyzer have to do so that you could listen to the various people speaking and chatting? Nothing more than separating the recorded mixture of those various speech sources into the original sources. A simple yet sensible assumption is that those signals are independent meaning that the people all speak differently and different texts. Given this assumption and the fact that sound sources overlap linearly we can show that separating the recorded mixtures into independent signals indeed recovers the original sources if we have as many recordings as sources. This is exactly what Independent Component Analysis (ICA) does. And this is what robots need to have built in in order to understand humans. Using semantic information, the usual ICA restrictions about the number of recordings can of course be reduced. This work deals with Independent Component Analysis. To be more specific, after introducing a few basic concepts it studies some ICA algorithms and develops new theoretical results for these algorithms. Sometimes these results then help to develop new algorithms. In order to keep the subject from being too dry, for every algorithm one or two examples are shown as well. This work does not want to provide the reader with a v Preface broad overview over the complex subject of ICA. Instead, we try to provide quite thorough and sound mathematical results for a few algorithms. Good introductions with extensive bibliographies are [ which later …

Analysis of the Reliability of a Three-Component System with Two Repairmen
In this paper authors have considered a system having three units A, B1 and B2. A is controlled by a controller and B1 and B2 are independent. Two repairmen are involved in repair of the system. One of the repairmen (the first) is the foreman (boss) and the other an assistant (apprentice). Whenever any unit fails, repair is undertaken by boss. If the boss is busy in repairing and at the same ti...
متن کاملEfficiency Measurement of Clinical Units Using Integrated Independent Component Analysis-DEA Model under Fuzzy Conditions
Background and Objectives: Evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective management of health settings. Certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible, calling for use of uncertainty theory. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independent component analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate ...
متن کاملRank based Least-squares Independent Component Analysis
In this paper, we propose a nonparametric rank-based alternative to the least-squares independent component analysis algorithm developed. The basic idea is to estimate the squared-loss mutual information, which used as the objective function of the algorithm, based on its copula density version. Therefore, no marginal densities have to be estimated. We provide empirical evaluation of th...
متن کاملA review on EEG based brain computer interface systems feature extraction methods
The brain – computer interface (BCI) provides a communicational channel between human and machine. Most of these systems are based on brain activities. Brain Computer-Interfacing is a methodology that provides a way for communication with the outside environment using the brain thoughts. The success of this methodology depends on the selection of methods to process the brain signals in each pha...

In this paper using DEA technique, four-stage DEA model mooted in order to consider the situation in which returned products exist. Returned products are the inputs of the previous sub-processes that need to be reprocessed due to existence of flaws. Here, a supply chain with four stages as supplier, manufacture, distributor, and retailer with intermediate and return products has been considered...
