Advances in Independent Component Analysis and Learning Machines

In honour of Professor Erkki Oja, one of the pioneers of Independent Component Analysis (ICA), this book reviews key advances in the theory and application of ICA, as well as its influence on signal processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and data mining.Examples of topics which have developed from the advances of ICA, which are covered in the book are:- A unifying probabilistic model for PCA and ICA- Optimization methods for matrix decompositions- Insights into the FastICA algorithm- Unsupervised deep learning- Machine vision and image retrieval- A review of developments in the theory and applications of independent component analysis, and its influence in important areas such as statistical signal processing, pattern recognition and deep learning- A diverse set of application fields, ranging from machine vision to science policy data- Contributions from leading researchers in the field
