An Efficient Algorithm by Kurtosis Maximization in Reference-Based Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the optimization of kurtosis for complex-valued signals in the independent component analysis (ICA) framework, where source signals are linearly and instantaneously mixed. Inspired by the recently proposed reference-based contrast schemes, a similar contrast function is put forward, based on which a new fast fixed-point (FastICA) algorithm is proposed. The new optimization method is similar in spirit to the former classical kurtosis-based FastICA algorithm but differs in the fact that it is much more efficient than the latter in terms of computational speed, which is significantly striking with large number of samples. The performance of this new algorithm is confirmed through computer simulations.

Speech separation by kurtosis maximization
We present a computationally efficient method of separating mixed speech signals. The method uses a recursive adaptive gradient descent technique with the cost function designed to maximize the kurtosis of the output (separated) signals. The choice of kurtosis maximization as an objective function (which acts as a measure of separation) is supported by experiments with a number of speech signal...
متن کاملReal Time Implementation of a Blind Beamformer for Subband Speech Enhancement Using Kurtosis Maximization
This paper presents a real time implementation of a blind beamformer for subband speech enhancement. The beamformer adaptively maximizes the statistical kurtosis measure of the beamformer’s output signal. Speech carries high kurtosis and noise often exhibit lower kurtosis. Hence, maximization of the output signal’s kurtosis enhances speech, in general. The implementation is carried out on a nov...

In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...
متن کاملUncertain portfolio selection with high-order moments
In the mean-variance-skewness-kurtosis framework, this paper discusses an uncertain higher-order moment portfolio selection problem when security returns are given by experts’ evaluations. Based on uncertainty theory and the assumption that the security returns are zigzag uncertain variables, an uncertain multi-objective portfolio optimization model is proposed by considering the maximization o...
متن کاملShort-Time Kurtosis of Speech Signals with Application to Co-channel Speech Separation
Recent work into the separation of mixtures of speech signals has shown some success. One particular method is based on the assumption that scalar mixtures of speech signals have a kurtosis less than that for either source. Under this assumption, a simple gradient search algorithm is employed to maximize kurtosis thereby separating the source speech signals from the mixture. While this assumpti...
