This paper proposes feature parameter transformation method using independent component analysis (ICA) for speaker identification. The proposed method assumes that the cepstral vectors from various channel-conditioned speech are constructed by a linear combination of some characteristic functions with random channel noise added, and transforms them into new vectors using ICA. The resultant vector space can give emphasis to the repetitive speaker information and suppress the random channel distortions. Experimental results show that the transformation method is effective for the improvement of speaker identification system.

뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)는 뇌의 자발적 전기활동을 두피에서 측정한 것이다. 그 동안 뇌질환과 관련된 임상에서 주로 사용되어져 왔으며, 비선형 동역학 연구를 통해 결정론적인 동역학 신호임이 밝혀짐에 따라 뇌 기능연구 분야에서 그 응용범위가 넓어지고 있다. 우리는 뇌파 신호에 대하여 독립성분분석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA)을 통하여 그 결과를 알아보았다. 즉, 뇌파의 독립성분 분석 적용 타당성을 알아본 다음 이를 적용하여 독립 소스들을 분리해 내었다. 또한 Topological Mapping을 이용하여 각각의 독립 소스들이 뇌의 어느 위치에서 발생하는지도 알아보았다. 이를 통하여 EEG에 독립성분분석을 적용함으로써 뇌 활동의 시간적, 공간적 분석이 가능하고 유용함을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we proposed an application method of ICA (Independent Component Analysis) to passive line array sonar to separate interferences from target signals in low frequency band and compared performance of three conventional ICA algorithms. Since the low frequency signals are received through larger bearing angles than other frequency bands, neighboring beam signals can be used to perform ICA as measurement signals of the ICA. We use three ICA algorithms such as Fast ICA, NNMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization) and JADE (Joint Approximation Diagonalization of Eigen-matrices). Through experiments on real data obtained from passive line array sonar, it is verified that the interference can be separable from target signals by the suggested method and the JADE algorithm shows the best separation performance among the three algorithms.

We examined problems of the principal component analysis(PCA), which is able to analyze at the low dimensionality as a methodologv to assess hydrologic time series, and introduced the theory and characteristics of independent component analysis(ICA) that can supplement problems of principal component analysis. We also applied the global sea surface temperature(SST) of the Nino region and assessed the correlation between El $\tilde{n}ino$-Southern Oscillation(ENSO) and SST. The results of examining separation-ability of principal components using mixed signals indicate that the independent component analysis is statistically superior compared to that of the principal component analysis. Finally, we assessed correlation between ENSO and global anomaly SST. The independent component analysis was applied to the $5^{\circ}{\times}5^{\circ}$(latitude and longitude) global anomaly SST in the Nino+3.4 region that is the El $\tilde{n}ino$ observation section. We assessed the correlation with the ENSO years. These results of the analysis show that only one independent component($86\%$) was able to represent the entire behavior and was consistent with the main ENSO years. Finally, we carried out independent component analysis for summer seasonal rainfalls at nine stations and could extract ICs to reflect geographical characteristics. The increasing trend has been shown at IC-1 and IC-2 since 1970s.

본 연구에서는 효율적인 학습알고리즘을 가지는 신경망 기반 독립성분분석 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 할선법에 기초를 둔 fixed point 알고리즘의 신경망 기반 독립성분분석 기법이다. 여기서 할선법은 독립성분 상호간의 정보를 최소화하기 위해 negentropy를 최대화는 과정에서 요구되는 1차 미분에 따른 계산량을 줄이기 위함이다. 제안된 기법을 500개의 데이터를 가지는 4개 신호들로부터 임의의 혼합 행렬에 따라 발생되는 혼합신호들을 각각 대상으로 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 우수한 분리성능과 빠른 학습 속도가 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed a method for acoustic echo cancellation based on independent component analysis. When the large acoustic noise is picked up by the microphone, the performance of echo cancellation decreased. We used two microphones that received echo signal which is linearly mixed with the noise, then separated the echo signals from the received signals with independent component analysis algorithm. The separated echo signal is used for the reference signal of adaptive algorithm which leads to better performance of the echo cancellation. Computer simulation results show the validity of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 잡음이 첨가된 오디오 신호로부터 잡음을 추정하고 이에 따른 지각 필터 적용을 통한 음질 개선 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 지각 필터는 고정된 잡음을 사용하여 잡음이 가변적일 경우 그 성능이 저하되었으며 독립 성분 분석만을 사용하여 잡음을 제거할 경우 잡음이 완전히 분리되지 못하고 잔류하게 된다. 그러나 제안된 잡음 추정 알고리즘은 독립성분 분석을 이용하여 잡음 에너지를 획득하고 이를 지각 필터에 적용함으로써 전 대역의 잡음 에너지를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있게 된다. 기존의 독립성분분석만을 이용한 방법과의 비교를 위하여 SSNR 비교를 수행하였고 그 결과를 통해 성능 개선을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an efficient input variable selection method using both fixed-point independent component analysis(FP-ICA) and adaptive partition mutual information(AP-MI) estimation. FP-ICA which is based on secant method, is applied to quickly find the independence between input variables. AP-MI estimation is also applied to estimate an accurate dependence information by equally partitioning the samples of input variable for calculating the probability density function(PDF). The proposed method has been applied to 2 problems for selecting the input variables, which are the 7 artificial signals of 500 samples and the 24 environmental pollution signals of 55 samples, respectively The experimental results show that the proposed methods has a fast and accurate selection performance. The proposed method has also respectively better performance than AP-MI estimation without the FP-ICA and regular partition MI estimation.

Biplot is a useful graphical method to simultaneously explore the rows and columns of a two-way data matrix. In particular, principal component factor biplot is a graphical method to describe the interrelationship among many variables in terms of a few underlying but unobservable random variables called factors. If we consider the unobservable variables (which are mutually independent and also non-Gaussian), we can apply the independent component analysis decomposing a mixture of non-Gaussian in its independent components. In this case, if we apply the principal component factor analysis, we cannot clearly describe the interrelationship among many variables. Therefore, in this study, we apply the independent component analysis of Jutten and Herault (1991) decomposing a mixture of non-Gaussian in its independent components. We suggest an independent component biplot to interpret the independent component analysis graphically.

This paper presents the separation performance of the linearly mixed image signals with additive noises by using an independent component analyses(ICAs) of the fixed-point(FP) algorithm based on Newton and secant method, respectively. The Newton's FP-ICA uses the slope of objective function, and the secant's FP-ICA also uses the tangent line of objective function. The 2 kinds of ICA have been applied to the 2 dimensional 2-image with $512\times512$ pixels. Then Gaussian noise and Laplacian noise are added to the mixed images, respectively. The experimental results show that the Newton's FP-ICA has better the separation speed than secant FP-ICA and the secant's FP-ICA has also the better separation rate than Newton's FP-ICA. Especially, the Newton and secant method gives relatively larger improvement degree in separation speed and rate as the noise increases.
