SUMMARY:Blind Source Separation and Independent Component Analysis
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will present theoretical developments in the area of blind source separation (BSS), also known as independent component analysis (ICA).\n\nBSS and ICA address those situations where mixtures of a set of unknown source signals are available and the problem is to extract the original source signals from these observed mixtures without the knowledge of the mixing matrix.\n\nIn the case of linear, instantaneous mixtures, the received signals, y, can be written as y = A*x, where x represents the unknown original source signals and A is the unknown mixing matrix. It will be demonstrated that independent source signals can be extracted using higher-order statistics (HOS).\n\nBSS and ICA have many potential applications in diverse fields. The seminar will present theoretical developments as well as examples of simulation, demonstration, and real-world examples.\n\nspeaker:\n\nProf. Asoke K Nandi\nDavid Jardine Chair of Signal Processing\nDepartment of Electrical Engineering & Electronics\nThe University of Liverpool\nBrownlow Hill, Liverpool, L69 3GJ, UK
