Abstract

In this work, we address the problem of source separation of post-nonlinear mixtures based on mutual information minimization. There are two main problems related to the training of separating systems in this case: the requirement of entropy estimation and the risk of local convergence. In order to overcome both difficulties, we propose a training paradigm based on entropy estimation through order statistics and on an evolutionary-based learning algorithm. Simulation results indicate the validity of the novel approach.
