Abstract

In this paper, we address the convolutive blind source separation (BSS) problem with a sparse independent component analysis (ICA) method, which uses ICA to find a set of basis vectors from the observed data, followed by clustering to identify the original sources. We show that, thanks to the temporally localised basis vectors that result, phase information is easily exploited to determine the clusters, using an unsupervised clustering method. Experimental results show that good performance is obtained with the proposed approach, even for short basis vectors.
