Abstract

Independent Component Analysis (ICA), a computationally efficient Blind Source Separation technique (BSS), has been an area of interest for researchers for many practical applications in various fields of science and engineering. This presentation (talk) attempts to cover the fundamental concepts involved in ICA techniques and review its applications, especially in Audio and Electromyography (EMG) applications. A thorough discussion of the some of the research work carried out in source separation and identification will be discussed.

Biography

Dr. Ganesh R. Naik received B.E. degree in electronics and communication engineering from the University of Mysore, India, in 1997, M.E. degree in communication and information engineering from Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, in 2002, and Ph.D. degree in the area of digital signal processing from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, in 2009. He is currently an academician and researcher at RMIT University. As an early career researcher, he has authored more than 60 papers in peer reviewed journals, conferences, and book chapters over the last five years. His research interests include pattern recognition, blind source separation techniques, audio signal processing, biosignal processing, and human–computer interface. Dr. Naik was the Chair for the IEEE Computer Society CIT08 Conference, Sydney and a member of the organising committee for IEEE BRC2011 and BRC2012 conference, Vitoria, Brazil. He is a recipient of the Baden–Württemberg Scholarship from the University of Berufsakademie, Stuttgart, Germany (2006 - 2007).
