Blind Bounded Source Separation Using Neural Networks with Local Learning Rules
share
An important problem encountered by both natural and engineered signal processing systems is blind source separation. In many instances of the problem, the sources are bounded by their nature and known to be so, even though the particular bound may not be known. To separate such bounded sources from their mixtures, we propose a new optimization problem, Bounded Similarity Matching (BSM). A principled derivation of an adaptive BSM algorithm leads to a recurrent neural network with a clipping nonlinearity. The network adapts by local learning rules, satisfying an important constraint for both biological plausibility and implementability in neuromorphic hardware.
