This paper proposes a time-frequency approach for Blind Source Seperation (BSS) for intelligent Human-Machine Interaction(HMI). Main idea of the algorithm is to simultaneously diagonalize the correlation matrix of the pre-whitened signals at different time delays for every frequency bins in time-frequency domain. The prososed method has two merits: (1) fast convergence speed; (2) high signal to interference ratio of the separated signals. Numerical evaluations are used to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with two other deconvolution algorithms. An efficient algorithm to resolve permutation ambiguity is also proposed in this paper. The algorithm proposed saves more than 10% of computational time with properly selected parameters and achieves good performances for both simulated convolutive mixtures and real room recorded speeches.展开更多

文摘Swarm intelligence has become a hot research field of artificial intelligence.Considering the importance of swarm intelli-gence for the future development of artificial intelligence,we discuss and analyze swarm intelligence from a broader and deeper perspect-ive.In a broader sense,we are talking about not only bio-inspired swarm intelligence,but also human-machine hybrid swarm intelli-gence.In a deeper sense,we discuss the research using a three-layer hierarchy:in the first layer,we divide the research of swarm intelli-gence into bio-inspired swarm intelligence and human-machine hybrid swarm intelligence;in the second layer,the bio-inspired swarm intelligence is divided into single-population swarm intelligence and multi-population swarm intelligence;and in the third layer,we re-view single-population,multi-population and human-machine hybrid models from different perspectives.Single-population swarm intel-ligence is inspired by biological intelligence.To further solve complex optimization problems,researchers have made preliminary explor-ations in multi-population swarm intelligence.However,it is difficult for bio-inspired swarm intelligence to realize dynamic cognitive in-telligent behavior that meets the needs of human cognition.Researchers have introduced human intelligence into computing systems and proposed human-machine hybrid swarm intelligence.In addition to single-population swarm intelligence,we thoroughly review multi-population and human-machine hybrid swarm intelligence in this paper.We also discuss the applications of swarm intelligence in optimization,big data analysis,unmanned systems and other fields.Finally,we discuss future research directions and key issues to be studied in swarm intelligence.
