By taking the sum of absolute values of the normalized kurtoses as a contrast function, the obtained signal-adaptive activation function automatically satisfies the local stability and robustness conditions. The SAA-BSS exploits the natural gradient learning on the Stiefel manifold, and it is an equivariant algorithm with a moderate computational load. Computer simulations show that the SAA-BSS can perform blind separation of mixed sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian signals and it works more efficiently than the existing algorithms in convergence speed and robustness against outliers.展开更多

Through a series of speech signal separation test, RobustICA reduced the separation time consumed by FastICA with higher stability, and speeches separated by RobustICA were proved to having lower separation errors. In the 14 groups of speech separation tests, separation time consumed by RobustICA was 3.185 s less than FastICA by nearly 68%. Separation errors of FastICA had a float between 0.004 and 0.02, while the errors of RobustlCA remained around 0.003. Furthermore, compared to FastICA, RobustlCA showed better separation robustness. Experimental results showed that RohustICA was successful to apply to the speech signal separation, and showed superiority to FastlCA in speech separation.展开更多
