The brain effortlessly extracts latent causes of stimuli, but how it does this at the network level remains unknown. Most prior attempts at this problem proposed neural networks that implement independent component analysis which works…

Blind source separation, i.e. extraction of independent sources from a mixture, is an important problem for both artificial and natural signal processing. Here, we address a special case of this problem when sources (but not the mixing…

An important problem encountered by both natural and engineered signal processing systems is blind source separation. In many instances of the problem, the sources are bounded by their nature and known to be so, even though the particular…

Blind source separation (BSS) is a natural framework for studying how latent causes may be recovered from sensory mixtures, but deriving online and biologically plausible algorithms for structured (i.e., constrained to known domains) and…

An important problem in neuroscience is to understand how brains extract relevant signals from mixtures of unknown sources, i.e., perform blind source separation. To model how the brain performs this task, we seek a biologically plausible…

Blind source separation (BSS) algorithms are unsupervised methods, which are the cornerstone of hyperspectral data analysis by allowing for physically meaningful data decompositions. BSS problems being ill-posed, the resolution requires…

In this work, we consider the problem of blind source separation (BSS) by departing from the usual linear model and focusing on the linear-quadratic (LQ) model. We propose two provably robust and computationally tractable algorithms to…

The backpropagation algorithm has experienced remarkable success in training large-scale artificial neural networks; however, its biological plausibility has been strongly criticized, and it remains an open question whether the brain…

Humans excel at continually acquiring, consolidating, and retaining information from an ever-changing environment, whereas artificial neural networks (ANNs) exhibit catastrophic forgetting. There are considerable differences in the…

The backpropagation (BP) algorithm is often thought to be biologically implausible in the brain. One of the main reasons is that BP requires symmetric weight matrices in the feedforward and feedback pathways. To address this "weight…

Blind source separation (BSS) aims to recover an unobserved signal $S$ from its mixture $X=f(S)$ under the condition that the effecting transformation $f$ is invertible but unknown. As this is a basic problem with many practical…

We consider the problem of adaptive blind separation of two sources from their instantaneous mixtures. We focus on the case where the two sources are not necessarily independent. By analyzing a general form of adaptive algorithms we show…

Developing biologically plausible learning algorithms that can achieve performance comparable to error backpropagation remains a longstanding challenge. Existing approaches often compromise biological plausibility by entirely avoiding the…

We introduce a new information maximization (infomax) approach for the blind source separation problem. The proposed framework provides an information-theoretic perspective for determinant maximization-based structured matrix factorization…

Backpropagation is a cornerstone algorithm in training neural networks for supervised learning, which uses a gradient descent method to update network weights by minimizing the discrepancy between actual and desired outputs. Despite its…

An important preprocessing step in most data analysis pipelines aims to extract a small set of sources that explain most of the data. Currently used algorithms for blind source separation (BSS), however, often fail to extract the desired…

Our brain consists of biological neurons encoding information through accurate spike timing, yet both the architecture and learning rules of our brain remain largely unknown. Comparing to the recent development of backpropagation-based…

Significant challenges exist in efficient data analysis of most advanced experimental and observational techniques because the collected signals often include unwanted contributions--such as background and signal distortions--that can…

Background and Objective: Processing electrophysiological signals often requires blind source separation (BSS) due to the nature of mixing source signals. However, its complex computational demands make real-time BSS challenging. The…

We give under weak assumptions a complete combinatorial characterization of identifiability for linear mixtures of finite alphabet sources, with unknown mixing weights and unknown source signals, but known alphabet. This is based on a…
