Abstract

In this paper we propose a new strategy to separate convolutive mixtures of temporally-white signals. The basic idea is to transform the convolutive mixture in several instantaneous mixtures by using the discrete Fourier transform. Subsequently, each instantaneous mixture is separated using a neural network whose coefficients are adapted by minimizing the mean squared error between its outputs and a desired signal previously obtained using an unsupervised algorithm (like JADE). This new strategy does not suffer from the amplitude/permutation indeterminacies that appear in other frequency-domain approaches.
