Blind methods often separate or identify signals or signal subspaces up to an unknown scaling factor. Sometimes it is necessary to cope with the scaling ambiguity, which can be done through reconstructing signals as they are received by…

Sound source tracking is commonly performed using classical array-processing algorithms, while machine-learning approaches typically rely on precise source position labels that are expensive or impractical to obtain. This paper introduces a…
