Generalized anti-Hebbian learning for source separation
The information-theoretic framework for source separation is highly suitable. However the choice of the nonlinearity or the estimation of the multidimensional joint probability density function are nontrivial. We propose here a generalized Gaussian model to construct a generalized blind source separation network based on the minimum entropy principle. This new separation network can suppress the interference to a significant amount compared to the traditional LMS-echo-canceler. The simulation is given to show the disparity of the performance as a varies. Finally how to choose the appropriate a in our generalized anti-Hebbian rule is discussed.
