Imagine That You Are in A Room Where Two People Are Speaking Simultaneously

Independent component analysis (ICA) can be used to separate mixed signals without prior knowledge by finding components that are statistically independent. ICA assumes signals are mixed in a room with microphones recording weighted sums of speakers' voices, represented as a linear equation. The goal of blind source separation using ICA is to estimate the original independent source signals (s1 and s2) from the mixed recorded signals (x1 and x2) without knowing the mixing coefficients.

(ICA) have many potential applications including speech recognition systems,

telecommunications, and medical signal processing

Blind source separation attempts, as the name states, to separate the individual
signals from the mixture of signals, without any prior knowledge of statistics of
signals.

Imagine that you are in a room where two people are speaking simultaneously.
You have two microphones, which you hold in different locations. The microphones
give you two recorded time signals, which we could denote by x1(t) and x2(t), with x1
and x2 the amplitudes, and t the time index. Each of these recorded signals is a
weighted sum of the speech signals emitted by the two speakers, which we denote
by s1(t) and s2(t). We could express this as a linear equation:

x1(t) = a11s1 + a12s2 ………………………….. ( 1 )

x2(t) = a21s1 + a22s2 ………….……………….. ( 2 )

Using this vector–matrix notation, the above mixing model is written as

x=As …………………. ( 4 )
