In this work, we consider the problem of blind source separation (BSS) by departing from the usual linear model and focusing on the linear-quadratic (LQ) model. We propose two provably robust and computationally tractable algorithms to tackle this problem under separability assumptions which require the sources to appear as samples in the data set. The first algorithm generalizes the successive nonnegative projection algorithm (SNPA), designed for linear BSS, and is referred to as SNPALQ. By explicitly modeling the product terms inherent to the LQ model along the iterations of the SNPA scheme, the nonlinear contributions of the mixing are mitigated, thus improving the separation quality. SNPALQ is shown to be able to recover the ground truth factors that generated the data, even in the presence of noise. The second algorithm is a brute-force (BF) algorithm, which is used as a post-processing step for SNPALQ. It enables to discard the spurious (mixed) samples extracted by SNPALQ, thus broadening its applicability. The BF is in turn shown to be robust to noise under easier-to-check and milder conditions than SNPALQ. We show that SNPALQ with and without the BF postprocessing is relevant in realistic numerical experiments.

Approximate joint diagonalization of a set of matrices provides a powerful framework for numerous statistical signal processing applications. For non-unitary joint diagonalization (NUJD) based on the least-squares (LS) criterion, outliers, also refer red to as anomaly or discordant observations, have a negative influence on the performance, since squaring the residuals magnifies the effects of them. To solve this problem, we propose a novel cost function that incorporates the soft decision-directed scheme into the least-squares algorithm and develops an efficient algorithm. The influence of the outliers is mitigated by applying decision-directed weights which are associated with the residual error at each iterative step. Specifically, the mixing matrix is estimated by a modified stationary point method, in which the updating direction is determined based on the linear approximation to the gradient function. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional non-unitary diagonalization algorithms in terms of both convergence performance and robustness to outliers.
Multivariate measurements taken at irregularly sampled locations are a common form of data, for example in geochemical analysis of soil. In practical considerations predictions of these measurements at unobserved locations are of great interest. For standard multivariate spatial prediction methods it is mandatory to not only model spatial dependencies but also cross-dependencies which makes it a demanding task. Recently, a blind source separation approach for spatial data was suggested. When using this spatial blind source separation method prior the actual spatial prediction, modelling of spatial cross-dependencies is avoided, which in turn simplifies the spatial prediction task significantly. In this paper we investigate the use of spatial blind source separation as a pre-processing tool for spatial prediction and compare it with predictions from Cokriging and neural networks in an extensive simulation study as well as a geochemical dataset.
In this work, we tackle the problem of hyperspectral (HS) unmixing by departing from the usual linear model and focusing on a Linear-Quadratic (LQ) one. The proposed algorithm, referred to as Successive Nonnegative Projection Algorithm for Linear Qua dratic mixtures (SNPALQ), extends the Successive Nonnegative Projection Algorithm (SNPA), designed to address the unmixing problem under a linear model. By explicitly modeling the product terms inherent to the LQ model along the iterations of the SNPA scheme, the nonlinear contributions in the mixing are mitigated, thus improving the separation quality. The approach is shown to be relevant in a realistic numerical experiment.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an optical pulse sampling method for photonic blind source separation. The photonic system processes and separates wideband signals based on the statistical information of the mixed signals and thus the sampl ing frequency can be orders of magnitude lower than the bandwidth of the signals. The ultra-fast optical pulse functions as a tweezer that collects samples of the signals at very low sampling rates, and each sample is short enough to maintain the statistical properties of the signals. The low sampling frequency reduces the workloads of the analog to digital conversion and digital signal processing systems. In the meantime, the short pulse sampling maintains the accuracy of the sampled signals, so the statistical properties of the undersampling signals are the same as the statistical properties of the original signals. With the optical pulses generated from a mode-locked laser, the optical pulse sampling system is able to process and separate mixed signals with bandwidth over 100GHz and achieves a dynamic range of 30dB.
We proposed and demonstrated an optical pulse sampling method for photonic blind source separation. It can separate large bandwidth of mixed signals by small sampling frequency, which can reduce the workload of digital signal processing.
