Blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures can be solved efficiently in the frequency domain, where independent component analysis (ICA) is performed separately each bin. However, frequency-domain BSS involves a permutation problem: ambiguity of ICA bin should aligned so that separated signal time-domain contains components same signal. This paper presents robust and precise method solving problem. It based on two approaches: direction arrival (DOA) estimation sources...

This paper presents a blind source separation method for convolutive mixtures of speech/audio sources. The can even be applied to an underdetermined case where there are fewer microphones than operation is performed in the frequency domain and consists two stages. In first stage, frequency-domain mixture samples clustered into each by expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Since clustering bin-wise manner, permutation ambiguities should aligned. solved second stage using probability on how...

This paper addresses the determined blind source separation problem and proposes a new effective method unifying independent vector analysis (IVA) nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). IVA is state-of-the-art technique that utilizes statistical independence between sources in mixture signal, an efficient optimization scheme has been proposed for IVA.

Understanding the impacts and patterns of network events such as link flaps or hardware errors is crucial for diagnosing anomalies. In large production networks, analyzing log messages that record has become a challenging task due to following two reasons. First, are composed unstructured text generated by vendor-specific rules.
