Blind separation of underdetermined mixtures with additive white and pink noises
This paper presents an approach for underdetermined
blind source separation in the case of additive Gaussian
white noise and pink noise. Likewise, the proposed approach is applicable in the case of separating I + 3 sources from I mixtures with additive two kinds of noises. This situation is more challenging and suitable to practical real world problems. Moreover, unlike to some conventional approaches, the sparsity conditions are not imposed. Firstly, the mixing matrix is estimated based on an algorithm that combines short time Fourier transform and rough-fuzzy clustering. Then, the mixed
signals are normalized and the source signals are recovered using modified Gradient descent Local Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares Algorithm exploiting the mixing matrix obtained from the previous step as an input and initialized by multiplicative algorithm for matrix factorization based on alpha divergence. The experiments and simulation results
show that the proposed approach can separate I + 3 source
signals from I mixed signals, and it has superior evaluation performance compared to some conventional approaches
Bayesian orthogonal component analysis for sparse representation
This paper addresses the problem of identifying a lower dimensional space
where observed data can be sparsely represented. This under-complete dictionary
learning task can be formulated as a blind separation problem of sparse sources
linearly mixed with an unknown orthogonal mixing matrix. This issue is
formulated in a Bayesian framework. First, the unknown sparse sources are
modeled as Bernoulli-Gaussian processes. To promote sparsity, a weighted
mixture of an atom at zero and a Gaussian distribution is proposed as prior
distribution for the unobserved sources. A non-informative prior distribution
defined on an appropriate Stiefel manifold is elected for the mixing matrix.
The Bayesian inference on the unknown parameters is conducted using a Markov
chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. A partially collapsed Gibbs sampler is
designed to generate samples asymptotically distributed according to the joint
posterior distribution of the unknown model parameters and hyperparameters.
These samples are then used to approximate the joint maximum a posteriori
estimator of the sources and mixing matrix. Simulations conducted on synthetic
data are reported to illustrate the performance of the method for recovering
sparse representations. An application to sparse coding on under-complete
dictionary is finally investigated.Comment: Revised version. Accepted to IEEE Trans. Signal Processin
Bayesian separation of spectral sources under non-negativity and full additivity constraints
This paper addresses the problem of separating spectral sources which are
linearly mixed with unknown proportions. The main difficulty of the problem is
to ensure the full additivity (sum-to-one) of the mixing coefficients and
non-negativity of sources and mixing coefficients. A Bayesian estimation
approach based on Gamma priors was recently proposed to handle the
non-negativity constraints in a linear mixture model. However, incorporating
the full additivity constraint requires further developments. This paper
studies a new hierarchical Bayesian model appropriate to the non-negativity and
sum-to-one constraints associated to the regressors and regression coefficients
of linear mixtures. The estimation of the unknown parameters of this model is
performed using samples generated using an appropriate Gibbs sampler. The
performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through simulation results
conducted on synthetic mixture models. The proposed approach is also applied to
the processing of multicomponent chemical mixtures resulting from Raman
spectroscopy.Comment: v4: minor grammatical changes; Signal Processing, 200

A general framework for online audio source separation
We consider the problem of online audio source separation. Existing
algorithms adopt either a sliding block approach or a stochastic gradient
approach, which is faster but less accurate. Also, they rely either on spatial
cues or on spectral cues and cannot separate certain mixtures. In this paper,
we design a general online audio source separation framework that combines both
approaches and both types of cues. The model parameters are estimated in the
Maximum Likelihood (ML) sense using a Generalised Expectation Maximisation
(GEM) algorithm with multiplicative updates. The separation performance is
evaluated as a function of the block size and the step size and compared to
that of an offline algorithm.Comment: International conference on Latente Variable Analysis and Signal
