Preface
Blindsourceseparation(BSS)methodshavereceivedextensiveattentionoverthe
past two decades; thanks to its wide applicability in a number of areas such as
biomedical engineering, audio signal processing, and telecommunications. The
problem of source separation is an inductive inference problem, as only limited
information, e.g., the sensor observations, is available to infer the most probable
source estimates. The aim of BSS is to process these observations (acquired by
sensors or sensor arrays) in such a way that the original unknown source signals
areextractedby,e.g.,anadaptivesystem,orseparatedsimultaneouslyusing,e.g.,
a block (or batch)-based algorithm, without knowing or with very limited infor-
mation about the characteristics of the transmission channels through which the
sourcespropagatetothesensors.Independentcomponentanalysis(ICA)isoneof
theearlyandmostwidelyusedtechniquesforBSSbyrevealingthehiddenfactors
thatunderliethesetsofmeasurementsortheobservedsignals.Recently,anumber
of new techniques have been emerging in BSS, such as latent variable analysis,
non-negative matrix/tensor factorization (NMF/NTF), sparse component analysis,
dictionary learning, independent vector analysis, factor analysis, matrix comple-
tion, compressed sensing, empirical mode decomposition, and complex-valued
adaptivemethods.Atthesametime,theapplicationsofBSScontinuetogrowand
prosper in a number of areas, such as audio, speech, music, image, biomedical,
communication, and financial data analysis and processing.
This book aims to disseminate timely to the scientific community the new
developments in BSS spanning from theoretical frameworks, algorithmic devel-
opments,toavarietyofapplications. Thebookcoverssomeemerging techniques
in BSS, especially those developed recently, offering academic researchers and
practitionersacomprehensiveupdateaboutthenewdevelopmentinthisfield.The
book provides a forum for researchers to exchange their ideas, and to foster a
better understanding of the state of the art of the subject. We envisage that the
publication of this book will motivate new ideas and more cutting-edge research
activities in this area.
This book is intended for computer science and electronics engineers

cessing applications. Furthermore, the research results previously scattered in

of interest to researchers, engineers, and graduates who wish to learn the core
principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of BSS. Furthermore, the book
mayalsobeofbroaderinteresttoresearchersworkinginotherareasofscienceand

The book is organized into two parts. Part I is devoted to recent developments
intheories,algorithms,andextensionsofBSS.Inthispart,wehavecollectednine
chapters with several novel contributions, namely, the idea of quantum ICA by
Yannick Deville and Alain Deville, the singularity-aware dictionary learning
approachforBSSbyXiaochenZhao,GuangyuZhou,WenwuWang,andWeiDai,

localisation and tracking by Md Mashud Hyder and Kaushik Mahata. Part II
focuses on the various applications of BSS and its links to other relevant areas,
such as computational auditory scene analysis (CASA). We have gathered 10
chapters in this part. They are respectively, blind speech extraction algorithms by
HiroshiSaruwatariandRyoichiMiyazaki,combiningsuperdirectivebeamforming
andBSSforspeechseparationbyLinWang,HepingDing,andFuliangYin,ideal
