Abstract

This paper investigates new algorithms for blind source separation that use cumulants instead of nonlinearities matched to the probability distribution of the sources. It is demonstrated that separation is a saddle point of a cumulant-based entropy cost function. To determine this point we propose two quasi-Newton algorithms whose convergence is isotropic and does not depend on the sources distribution. Moreover, convergence properties remain the same when there is Gaussian noise in the mixture.
