Independent Component Analysis Razvan Cristescu CMI Abstract: This is a talk on Independent Component Analysis (ICA), a recently developped signal processing technique where the goal is to find the data representation in which the transformed components are statistically as independent as possible. I will outline an information theoretic approach to ICA, the link with PCA, and the derivation of a fast separation algorithm. I will conclude with examples of applications. Reference: A.
