Abstract

Various blind source separation (BSS) and independent component analysis (ICA) algorithms have been developed. However, comparison study for BSS/ICA algorithms has not been extensively carried out yet. The main objective of this paper is to compare various promising BSS/ICA algorithms in terms of several factors such as robustness to sensor noise, computational complexity, the conditioning of the mixing matrix, the number of sensors, and the number of training patterns. We propose several benchmarks which are useful for the evaluation of the algorithm. This comparison study will be useful for real-world applications, especially EEG/MEG analysis and separation of miked speech signals.

여러 가지의 독립성분분석 및 암묵신호분리 알고리즘들이 개발되었지만, 아직 이러한 알고리즘들의 성능비교가 철저히 이루어지지는 못 하였다. 이 논문은 이 알고리즘들 중에서 뛰어난 알고리즘들을 센서 잡음에 대한 강인성, 계산 복잡도, 혼합 행렬의 조건, 센서 수, 학습패턴 수 등 여러 측면에서 비교한다. 또한, 알고리즘들의 성능 비교에 유용한 문제들도 제시한다. 이 비교결과는 이 알고리즘들의 EEG/MEG 분석, 음성신호분리 등과 같은 실질적 응용에 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
