Download Sub-Band Independent Subspace Analysis for Drum Transcription While Independent Subspace Analysis provides a means of separating sound sources from a single channel signal, making it an effective tool for drum transcription, it does have a number of problems. Not least of these is that the amount of information required to allow separation of sound sources varies from signal to signal. To overcome this indeterminacy and improve the robustness of transcription an extension of Independent Subspace Analysis to include sub-band processing is proposed. The use of this approach is demonstrated by its application in a simple drum transcription algorithm.
Download Independent subspace analysis using locally linear embedding While Independent Subspace Analysis provides a means of blindly separating sound sources from a single channel signal, it does have a number of problems. In particular the amount of information required for separation of sources varies with the signal. This is as a result of the variance-based nature of Principal Component Analysis, which is used for dimensional reduction in the Independent Subspace Analysis algorithm. In an attempt to overcome this problem the use of a non-variance based dimensional reduction method, Locally Linear Embedding, is proposed. Locally Linear Embedding is a geometry based dimensional reduction technique. The use of this approach is demonstrated by its application to single channel source separation, and its merits discussed.
